Good essay. Have you read "Panic Now?: Tools for Humanizing"? If you haven't, I suggest it. It is a short book, kind of in a Dark Mountain vein. And it contains a good discussion of AI, he touches on things I haven't seen elsewhere.

@kfitz so... I'm nowhere near an academic expert here, but some causal thoughts (I found this very valuable as-is):
In your formulation the important thing to preserve is "knowledge" but I'd differ. To me, the important thing to preserve is "students" or more ephemerally, "processes which produce educated students." I think about the fact that there are aboriginal songs which preserve knowledge about geography from thousands of years ago [1], without of course any super-durable storage medium, and it seems like the success of that knowledge preservation probably stems not from a focus on knowledge itself, but instead from a focus on processes which guarantee the transmission of knowledge. I don't see any reason why that geographical knowledge might not survive another dozen millennia, whereas I find it difficult to imagine that the majority of the various books, discs, and etchings we think of a archives right now will reliably live another 100 years, let alone a single thousand. The university has been an (imperfect, exclusionary, etc. as you rightfully point out) site of knowledge transfer as well as production, and while I think that humans of the future are always going to find ways to produce knowledge, the good parts of the knowledge transfer mechanisms that exist today are to my mind the most valuable things to preserve as universities trend towards collapse. As long as we can preserve both knowledge transfer practices and institutions that perpetuate those practices and sustain the individuals who engage in them, the knowledge itself will be carried forward. If we can't do that, then no amount of writing down or archiving our knowledge will work because it won't even have an interested audience in the future.
Along the same lines, when us academics think of our legacy in terms of publications and citations, we neglect to think of the perhaps more important (though much less visible/attributable) impact that our teaching has. For me, thinking about the potential end of my institution and/or my role in it inspires me most to think very critically about how I interact with however many classes of students I have left. Are there things they need to hear that I've been afraid to say because of institutional forces that are going to cast me aside regardless? How can I help equip them best for the endings and new beginnings that are happening now?
Thanks for your great and very thought-provoking piece!

<p><em>Cross-posted from the <a href="https://about.hcommons.org/2026/07/02/publishing-workflow-vs-business-model/">Knowledge Commons team blog</a>.</em></p>
<p>A few days ago a colleague alerted me to a thread on Bluesky that raised serious questions about the PRC publishing model, or Publish-Review-Curate, which is in active exploration and development by a range of open access repositories and publishers, including the folks behind the <a href="https://publish-review-curate.org">PRC Alliance</a>. I'm very invested in these explorations, and Knowledge Commons is actively working toward the development of an integrated PRCA workflow (where the A is for Assess, using repository and peer-review analytics to help authors report on the impact their work is having), so I immediately checked out that thread.</p>
<p>I found myself both unsettled and disappointed by what I found there. The thread is only available to logged-in users, so I'm not going to link to it, but this was <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/kfitz.info/post/3mpbnvbdb5223">my response</a>, which can lead you to the original thread.</p>
<p>The majority of what disappointed me was the broad denunciation of PRC as a &quot;damaging&quot; workflow without any consideration for the various contexts in which it's being deployed. A brief digression on PRC, for anyone unfamiliar with it: the basic idea is that publication, rather than being restricted to those outputs that make it through the peer review process, is instead moved to the front of the flow, through deposit to an open repository or pre-print server. Review then follows, and may or may not include revision of the deposited output. The third stage, curation, allows reviewed outputs to be gathered into overlay journals or edited volumes to further their dissemination.</p>
<p>The Bluesky thread took me back to all those arguments made about the problems with OA publishing, including that OA publications all rely on APCs, or article processing charges. APCs, as I have discussed at length elsewhere, have created real hindrances to open publishing for underfunded fields, institutions, and parts of the world, and have thus not only re-created but amplified the inequities in scholarly communication -- but it is simply <em>not true</em> that all OA publications rely on APCs. There are numerous &quot;platinum&quot; or &quot;diamond&quot; OA publishers -- including our good friends at the <a href="https://www.openlibhums.org">Open Library of the Humanities</a> and <a href="https://www.openbookpublishers.com">Open Book Publishers</a> -- that have developed new business models that do not require fees either to read or to publish.</p>
<p>Those publishers demonstrate the key distinction: OA is a publishing model. APCs are a business model. Publishing models and business models are often related, but they are not the same, nor even mutually determining.</p>
<p>We need to bear this in mind when we discuss PRC as well: the original poster was highly concerned because he saw organizations -- though he did not share who when I asked -- proposing that &quot;authors pay for peer review,&quot; thus undermining the very important work being shared through pre-print servers and other repositories by turning it into an opportunity for monetization and by excluding those who cannot pay from the benefits of an &quot;elitist&quot; system designed to promote the work of those who can pay.</p>
<p>I hope it's clear from my prior work that I'd be appalled to find myself working toward a new system of publishing that further undermined the opportunities for full participation in knowledge development and sharing for those who have long experienced such exclusions. But I am convinced that I am not -- and further, that PRC has the real potential to rectify those inequities, by allowing free and open publication in repositories like <a href="https://works.hcommons.org">KCWorks</a> tied to community review platforms and processes like that provided by our own <a href="https://pilcrow.is">Pilcrow</a>, allowing scholars, researchers, and practitioners of all stripes to break free of conventional journal publishing processes and instead build their own community-derived practices for research publishing, review, and curation.</p>
<p>PRC is a workflow, not a business model. We should resist the bad business models and the rent-seeking entities that deploy them -- but we must seize control of the workflows and make them sources of equity rather than exclusion.</p>
<p>This determination is precisely why <a href="https://about.hcommons.org/contribute/">Knowledge Commons needs your support</a> -- to ensure that we can keep all of our workflows open for all.</p>

&lt;p&gt;I am grateful to have received so much support for the work I&#39;ve done over the years, both on campus and off, from publishers and funding agencies, from colleagues and collaborators, from administrators, from friends and family. But my work has always been on the edge of so many fields -- not really literary studies, not really media studies, not really digital humanities, not really higher education studies -- that it has perpetually felt as though it was at risk of falling through the cracks.

&lt;p&gt;I&#39;ll also note that my institution, like so many large public R1s, heavily favors engineering, business, medicine, and the sciences; the College of Arts &amp;amp; Letters has been significantly underrepresented in university honorifics in recent years. I am the third University Distinguished Professor to be named in the college since 2003 -- twenty-two years! -- and the two scholars named during that period hold joint appointments with colleges on the STEM side of campus. I collaborate with STEM-leaning folks, and I have been successful in obtaining funding from agencies that are valued in that universe, so I acknowledge that I am recognizable to a university-wide committee in ways that someone more squarely located in a humanities-based discipline might not be. I nevertheless hope that I can find ways to enable this new title to help attune the university at large to the crucial kinds of work being done across the arts and humanities.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I&#39;ll also note that my institution, like so many large public R1s, heavily favors engineering, business, medicine, and the sciences; the College of Arts &amp;amp; Letters has been significantly underrepresented in university honorifics in recent years.

<title>All This</title>

<id>https://kfitz.info/all-this/</id>
<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;There&#39;s a moment in the 2001 Michael Bay classic, &lt;em&gt;Pearl Harbor&lt;/em&gt; (which &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/pearl-harbor-2001&quot;&gt;Roger Ebert once described&lt;/a&gt; as &amp;quot;a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours&amp;quot;), in which Kate Beckinsale, having been reunited with Ben Affleck, is attempting to explain how she could possibly have abandoned him for Josh Hartnett. Ben, of course, had been reported to be dead, and Josh was hunky and sweet and &lt;em&gt;there&lt;/em&gt;, so, you know. But a teary Kate says, and I quote: “I didnt even know until the day you turned up alive — and then &lt;em&gt;all this&lt;/em&gt; happened,” waving her hand vaguely over her shoulder at the still-smoking wreckage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have thought about this moment more times than I&#39;d really like to admit over the intervening 24 years, but never more so than in the last four months. &amp;quot;We were already facing budgetary challenges in the college — and then &lt;em&gt;all this&lt;/em&gt; happened&amp;quot; (&lt;em&gt;waves hand vaguely over shoulder at the still-smoking wreckage&lt;/em&gt;). &amp;quot;I was worried about the future of this project -- and then &lt;em&gt;all this&lt;/em&gt; happened.&amp;quot; (You get the point.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;all-this&lt;/em&gt;-ness of all this is utterly flippant, to be sure, but I&#39;m beginning to understand the utility of &lt;em&gt;all this&lt;/em&gt; as a container for the incomprehensible. We are facing circumstances that periodically cause me to lose my vocabulary. I don&#39;t know how to name it without breaking down, and I suspect that this is true of a lot of my colleagues. And so we talk about things like &amp;quot;the current moment&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;the federal funding landscape,&amp;quot; ways of signaling what we all know -- that we are living through a fucking horror of our country&#39;s own making, the destruction of everything that matters to us, the kidnapping and torture of members of our communities, the completion of the descent into what it no longer makes sense to call anything other than fascism -- without landing our conversation in a place in which it becomes impossible to go on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am trying to reckon with &lt;em&gt;all this&lt;/em&gt;, and with the desire to wave my hand vaguely over my shoulder without looking too closely at what it&#39;s gesturing toward. I have been doing a bit of writing around it, and am hoping that I&#39;ll be able to share some of that in the weeks and months ahead. I&#39;m not sure where it&#39;s all headed, but it&#39;s at least an attempt to be honest with myself about my reactions to what&#39;s happening, as well as an expression of hope that we might find our way through together.&lt;/p&gt;
