Sort the Leaf Litter First

Slop University's Strategic Plan 2026–2031 and the springtails of its own grounds

Slop University's Strategic Plan 2026-2031 takes as its starting point a survey of the leaf litter on the University's own grounds, which turned up more forms of springtail than its staff could put a name to. The plan commits the institution over five years to a reference collection of the grounds' soil microarthropods, standing litter plots sampled on a seasonal cycle, and a sorting bench and training in determination in every school, with an open register that reports each year what remains unnamed.
