This will have a negative impact on the affection you feel for To Kill a Mockingbird.
How UT Austin hired more senior women professors. The trouble I have with this article is that it takes an institutional viewpoint - how college X can have more female faculty, even if it means hiring them from Y and Z.. Overall, the system is not improved, because it's a zero-sum game when it comes to hiring people who are already tenured. UT may now find it easier to hire female junior faculty; the places they hired from will find it harder. (At the very end it addresses finding senior hires at national laboratories and the like, which would make it not a zero-sum game. But this only is possible in a very small number of disciplines. In the humanities, for example, almost the only place to get senior scholars is from other colleges.)
How to feel guilty about what you eat.
Economists find that increased competitive pressure to get into elite colleges leads to more gaming the system, not harder work.
Finally, some humor: student bloopers.

I only read the bloopers and some of them are quite funny. Some though I think are just from trusting their spell check too much and not proof reading their papers. But I also have a family member that is very entertaining if you ask her questions on almost anything not related to the entertainment field.
