An organization that is guided by its traditions instead of a vision of the future is at great risk of becoming obsolete in the present.

Opinion: The instinct of a university is to think that protests can be managed by instituting internal reform. It was a fantasy of administrators in '68, and remains a fantasy today. More from Paul Berman, a central organizer at the '68 Columbia protests:

Good piece on problems with the ESG literature. Many of the classic studies fail to replicate, use incorrect methods, and seem to have become influential because they reached the "right" conclusions.

A growing number of scholars say research showing companies can do well by doing good relies on shaky evidence.

This might be the end of @cartainc as the trusted platform for startups. As a founder it feels kind shitty that Carta, who I trust to manage our cap table, is now doing cold outreach to our angel investors about selling Linear shares to their buyers.

Insight. High quality nursing care is under appreciated and crucial to the provision of medical care. The nurses at @UWHealth are outstanding.

If the automobile had followed the same development as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year killing everyone inside. —Robert Cringely, InfoWorld

Antisemitism is not compatible with the founding ideals of the United States and the scholarly inquiry. Thank you @uwchancellor for speaking out against hate.

I am horrified that a group of neo-nazis marched on the State Capitol in Madison today. Their presence in our city is utterly repugnant. We at UW-Madison roundly condemn antisemitism and all forms of hate. https://t.co/Ou5Jm0WdQ5
