Based on the solution, hiring this fella to a fancy position and giving him $$$ in this environment, what is the root of skepticism with higher ed that Yale is attempting to solve? Whose skepticism do they seek to assuage?

Microsoft and Blackrock have "have largely given up on organic adoption [of AI] by consumers. They have moved on to a new dream of forced adoption mandated by government and managerial coercion."

A dark themed social media post by David Ho with a line graph showing changes in federal science agency staff levels from 2016 to 2024. The vertical axis shows percent change from the previous year, ranging from plus five percent at the top to minus thirty percent at the bottom. The horizontal axis shows years labeled 2016 to 2017, 2018 to 2019, 2020 to 2021, 2022 to 2023, and 2024 to 2025. Multiple colored lines represent different agencies including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency, Food and Drug Administration, NASA, National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and National Science Foundation. From 2016 through 2023, most agencies show small fluctuations around zero to plus five percent. In 2024, all agency lines drop sharply downward, reaching approximately minus fifteen to minus twenty five percent, indicating a steep decline in staffing levels. Above the chart is a caption stating that the Trump regime has destroyed the federal science workforce and that the negative impacts will affect Americans for generations.
You are looking at the calculated destruction of American science. Careers crushed. Labs stripped bare. Public safety butchered. Heritage Foundation project 2025.

I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.
US higher education was a crown jewel, generating knowledge, wealth, prestige, and power unrivaled by anyone.
And the US is throwing it away, because Americans elected a govt ideologically opposed to truth, science, merit, and racial/gender equality, preferring to weaken the country to reduce that.
