Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Undertaken by students and faculty, this study asks why students drop out of the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC). It highlights three interconnected reasons: 1) Anti-black racism, with the study finding that Black students are more likely than others to associate leaving with negative experiences with faculty and staff; 2) Institutional Failure, with the study finding that around half of the students who left UTSC had enrolled in another institution of higher education, sometimes reporting this as more welcoming; 3) Economic and Cultural Inequalities, with the study finding that participants undertook more than seventeen hours of paid work per week. The report calls attention to the fact that UofT does not collect race-based data on students that can shed light on these and other systematic patterns of disadvantage.

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.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
