[hi, friends. I know I’ve been away; the ICD fallout was incredibly taxing, and it continues to be taxing, but I needed to prioritize my students. I’m so grateful to all of you who have reached out, either because of that post or in the intervening months. I’m not sure
Read More[Hi there! I’ve written a lot more about ICD and their policy decisions since this post. After they released their 2020 Internal Review, I did a three-part in-depth analysis, discovering plagiarism and a lot of lingering questions. Check out Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. In the fall of
