Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Motivated to investigate the non-business related content in business content courses, I applied for a two quarter sabbatical asking for feedback and support from both my department chair and the dean of the College of Business where I have researched and taught classes for over twenty-five years. They collectively provided neither advice, feedback, nor support, forcing me to go over their heads directly to the Research Committee charged with reviewing sabbatical applications. The committee supported my research idea and granted me a one quarter sabbatical. Based in part on my research findings and based in part on my experiences during the application process, I wanted to share the events associated with curricular reviews with other academicians. As Clint Eastwood once said, Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
