Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In recent years, the autonomy of academics in many countries has been progressively undermined by a number of local, national and international developments. The purpose of this paper is to reveal how academic autonomy is being infringed. It aims also to critique the ways in which academics have been responding – both individually and collectively – to these infringements. Specifically, we argue that the ways in which academics have been defending against the erosion of their autonomy actually serves to further advance this process. We attribute this paradox to academics’ impoverished conception of professional autonomy and reassert a more robust conception and practice of academic autonomy as a means of remedying the situation.

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.
