At CHI'26, we published a paper showing the harm done by institutions that scale up imperfect decision-making processes without also investing in their appeals capacity (https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3772318.3791923).

This year we had an 11,424 word submission rejected from #chi2027 “because it exceeds CHI’s length limit”. The CHI’s length limit is 12,000 words. “Desk rejection decisions are final.” There is no appeal. There is no due process.
