What a convenient way to avoid bankruptcy plus cancel contracts, with unions, service providers and artists.

Di Bartolomeo and Kevin Gannon February 20th, 2026 | CUNY Graduate Center About The Campus Crisis Toolkit New from SUNY Press, this is the first book to address campus crises that's by and for faculty, staff, and students—the true heart of higher ed and the people who make it work.

I’m not playing so will be doing this for the first time.

In the grand scheme of awfulness this is a tiny loss, but in a way also seismic, for the gap it leaves behind. I never participated but observed the many Cal State Northridge theater students who benefitted—& in some cases were profoundly changed—by the experience of this festival.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

Agreed— Szadkowski’s performance in “are the Bennett girls ok?” was so satisfying— unhinged but controlled, so detailed, funny, heartbreaking. Between that & Seagulls at La Mama, she gets my Crushing the Stage 2025 prize! 🏆 🙌

bodes well. a plea to the NYTimes: start covering theater w/ the energy you bring to restaurants; the theater landscape is as varied! no need for fluff &/or celeb profiles & gimmick chasing, the human interest is built in. assume audiences have wide flavor palates.

“The math is brutal and the juxtaposition stark: millions for OpenAI while pink slips go out to longtime lecturers. The CSU isn’t investing in education—it’s outsourcing it, paying premium prices for a chatbot many students were already using for free.”

If I didn’t see life as fundamentally absurd this would definitely tip me over the edge

This is freaking incredible

#CADHE Concerns over Title VI Training: Academic Freedom and Freedom of Expression

#CUNY #MADC @aaup.org @standhighered.bsky.social @veenadubal.bsky.social @sunyufspresident.bsky.social

CUNY admins tell us they support academic freedom, but then they make us take this dystopian Title VI training designed to make us fearful in our classrooms that actually implies the exact opposite. Read the @cadhe.bsky.social statement about this two-faced position.

What Zohran Mamdani’s Win Might Mean for Higher Ed in NYC The mayor-elect has said little about his plans for the city’s colleges and universities. But advocates, experts and students are making best guesses based on his rhetoric and track record.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has been “very consistent & vocal in support of @cuny.edu students & the CUNY system...[he] ran & won on an affordability agenda,” & the city’s public higher ed system “can be both affordable & high-quality” with the right resources. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

Maybe the thing that gives me a pulse-pounding throbbing headache is when I think of how techbros sold ChatGPT to universities as ‘revolutionizing’ higher education and our institutions just forked over money without even asking for actual evidence
