Specifically, this essay focuses on the challenges associated with funding the social sciences, analyzing how financial structures and resource allocation impact research priorities, academic careers, and institutional decision-making. Additionally, it explores the broader implications of quantification in higher education, particularly in the ways that metrics, rankings, and performance evaluations shape scholarly work, influence hiring and promotion practices, and ultimately transform the very nature of knowledge production. By dissecting these issues, the essay aims to shed light on the limitations of data-driven governance in academic institutions.
