#HigherEd #TADOHE

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the resilience, cultures, and leadership of Indigenous communities—and confront the enduring impacts of colonization.

True justice means moving beyond acknowledgment—toward action.

Yesterday, I said out loud, "A Black man was lynched today."

I'm still processing that.

Please elevate Trey Reed's name.

Imagine telling young Black students they should come to college to better themselves and share their views with diverse people only to arrest them and expel them when their views don't align with yours.

Texas Tech is a public university and she was in the "free speech" area of campus.

What to Expect When Expecting a DEI Layoff Layoffs are deeply emotional, yet often under-discussed. We must acknowledge how all the labor and passion that we pour into our work can be taken for granted by presidents and CEOs.

Being laid off because my job was deemed 'illegal' was the toughest challenge of my career, shaking my future in higher ed & DEI work. I share my journey in @diverseissues.bsky.social

Did my first interview for my study 😊📝 #JourneyToDrBrown #PhDLife

Monopoly Tycoons in a Game of Jenga: The Censorship of Bodies, Protest, and Speech at UT-Austin Faculty and students are experiencing profound disruption and distress, which starkly contrasts with the arrogant posture and detached demeanor of those perpetrating this harm.

UT students and faculty overwhelmingly expressed concerns over the violence against peaceful pro-Palestinian protestors, the climate of fear on campus with the takedown of DEI centers and offices, SB 17 over-compliance, and violations of students’ First Amendment right to free speech.

This sums it up, yes.

We are looking for our next TADOHE executive leaders! If you have any questions about what it means to be TADOHE President, please email me at president@tadohe.com. We hope that you consider being a part of this amazing organization! #ExecutiveNominations! #HigherEd #Texas #DEI

Offer encouragement. We all know this world is full of discouragement.

Whether it's a rant about political debacles or a heartfelt reminiscence, she balances humor and seriousness like a seasoned chef balancing flavors.

This was fun!

Content Analysis: Shawntal's writing is like a gourmet meal: rich in flavor, layered with complexity, and sprinkled with just the right amount of spice.
