This Indigenous Peoplesโ€™ Day, we honor the resilience, cultures, and leadership of Indigenous communitiesโ€”and confront the enduring impacts of colonization.

True justice means moving beyond acknowledgmentโ€”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.

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 studentsโ€™ First Amendment right to free speech.
