At Chapel Hill, Only Health-Sciences Professors Have Been Getting Tenure The UNC Chapel Hill board hasn’t tenured a single professor in fields outside the health sciences since January. The inaction has prompted confusion and alarm among faculty.

This is shameful. The UNC Board of Trustees fails to vote on all tenure cases in Arts & Sciences, holding faculty in limbo without any explanation or timeline. This affects both assistant profs up for tenure and new tenured hires.

Please highlight this story.

The plans the WH is considering are not those seen in other high-income countries that aim to facilitate work & childrearing. They are not investing in childcare infrastructure or paid parental leave programs.

They want to return to a time when women were dependent on men.

Pronatalism is sexist.

the pronatalist movement and the anti-women's-rights movement are one, and they go hand in hand with pro-poverty and anti-ed policy that hurts children.

New Bill proposes funding for potential presidential library honoring Donald Trump at UNC Pembroke The legislation would set aside money to build a presidential library in honor of Donald Trump at the University of North Carolina Pembroke.

But, it is the hurricane funds requested by NC that have been deemed "unwarranted"?!? Make it make sense, y'all.

Trump denies FEMA aid extension in state he won three times In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, President Donald Trump voiced sharp criticism of FEMA's response in North Carolina.
