Zitat aus der Habilordnung: die Lehrbefugnis kann entzogen werden, "wenn sie oder er durch ihr oder sein Verhalten das
Ansehen oder das Vertrauen, das ihre oder seine Stellung erfordert, verletzt." Wer die Lehrbefugnis behält, besitzt somit das Vertrauen der Fakultät. 2/2

A cool thing about living in an entirely new place: it is just fine to take one’s time, to observe and learn the culture. In fact, it would be rude and arrogant to just assume that one already knows what one needs to know. The bonus is that it is relaxing to let oneself observe without feeling an immediate obligation to DO.

It's easy to see why Jane Addams cast St. Francis of Assisi as something of an archetype for her radically pacifist and cooperative #pragmatism. Meditated upon, the second verse of his most celebrated prayer contains the essence of so much of her philosophy. A timely disposition.

Tim Chow has a guest post at Logic Matters on the value of proof assistants in the process of producing new mathematical knowledge.
This picks up from the discussion sparked off by an earlier blog post noting the Lean verification of Randall Holmes's proof of the consistency of NF
The issues seem very interesting/important. So do join the discussion :)

UT Austin, my employer, beats and jails students engaged in peaceful protest, then manufactures propaganda that deeply misrepresents what the students were doing and had planned to do.
How am I supposed to work at an institution willing to hurt any students I recruit to come here? This is untenable.

The BASIC programming language turns 60
Sixty years ago, on May 1, 1964, at 4 am in the morning, a quiet revolution in computing began at Dartmouth College. That's when mathematicians John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz successfully ran the first program written in their newly developed BASIC (Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) programming language on the college's Genera

Supporting ‘democracy’ is hard for many who feel government and the economy are failing them
> One-third of Americans think that “rule by a strong leader or the military would be a good way of governing their country.” Are they losing faith in democracy?

After ordering police arrest of students President of Emerson College writes "“I realize now that I must take more time to actively listen and learn, find more ways to connect personally with students, faculty, and staff, and help create space for multiple voices,”" ummmm. Now?? Shouldn't this be a basic tenet of being president of a university?
