Sara Custer Inside Higher Ed

Below is the front cover aquarelle for issue #48, the latest issue published October 2024.  Needless to say, Sara Custer and Inside Higher Ed did NOT respond to the email (see below) and front cover sent to them.  Thus is the state of vigorous debate, cornerstone of democracy, in the realm of higher education...

Subject: Custer, Lederman, Jaschik satirized in a new P. Maudit aquarelle

 

To Ed-in-Chief Sara Custer, Ex-Ed-in-Chief Doug Lederman, and Ex-Ed-in-Chief Scott Jaschik:

You have been satirized in a new P. Maudit aquarelle (see attached).  If there is an untruth in it, please do let me know, so that I might adjust the aquarelle.  That said, shouldn’t rare hardcore critics be permitted to voice their views in higher ed today?  I think you guys could use a satirical cartoonist, someone who dares criticize the higher ed honchos at the helm… like you.  Hey, I’m actually available to fill such a position!  In that light, I attach my Curriculum Mortae.   Anyhow, please do share the aquarelle with your colleagues and please do publish it in Inside Higher Ed.  Thank you for your hopeful attention! 

Au plaisir,

G. Tod Slone (PhD—Université de Nantes, FR), aka P. Maudit, Founding Editor (1998)
