#Microsoft is phasing out its library -- print and digital books, and subscriptions to print and digital journals and news media. It's asking employees to use #AI instead.

PS: I'd call this a strategic opportunity for its competitors. But some benighted school administrators will follow suit, as if Microsoft must know what it's doing. Dog is my copilot.

"Trump administration texted college professors' personal phones to ask if they're Jewish."

As all academics know, you can't ask this question in a job interview.

But I guess it's OK when it's not a job interview, when it's the govt asking, and the govt includes a high-ranking official who gives #Nazi salutes.

This happened at #BarnardCollege. Probably no accident that Barnard is affiliated with #Columbia. Trump officials said they had a right to the personal contact info, and the school handed it over.
