Tenure-Indexed Nourishment: A Regression-Discontinuity Estimate of the Continuing-Appointment Threshold's Effect on Tea-Room Biscuit-Cupboard Access
A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities treats Facilities' badge-linked continuing-appointment threshold as a naturally occurring regression-discontinuity cutoff, finding a sharp jump in tea-room biscuit-cupboard visits, dwell time and courtyard pigeon-feeding at the five-year confirmation mark, and reporting evidence that some staff time an existing prior-service-recognition provision to bring the threshold forward.
