UC Access Now"As I trudge across campus on snowy days, I am met with an obstacle at every crosswalk. The plows have piled up snow into asphalt-stained mounds right in front of curb cuts that lead down to familiar white stripes.As someone with mobility and balance issues, what is a minor inconvenience to many becomes a more serious hazard, as a trip-induced spill could cause serious injury. The temporary blockade leads me to reflect on the curb cuts themselves and the often-overlooked convenience and access they provide."<a href="https://dailyevergreen.com/189412/life/mp-opinion-accessibility-empowers-everyone-the-curb-cut-effect/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://dailyevergreen.com/189412/life/mp-opinion-accessibility-empowers-everyone-the-curb-cut-effect/</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HigherEd</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ableism</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@academicchatter</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/disability" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@disability</a>

Real Syntacticthe three images below are screenshots from my employer’s student-facing website re: academic LLM use. These are set up to suggest to students that faculty who ban use of these tools in undergrad settings are disadvantaging students by disallowing tools that help students do better work more quickly. I ban these tools. How successful do you think my ban will be in the face of this framing? <a href="https://c18.masto.host/tags/highered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#highered</a> 1/

Indeed, a fair amount of our scientific research is conducted at private universities as much as it is at public land grants.
