say it again:

4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities

demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

Generic Syllabus Maker

As we all stagger home from vacations & begin working on syllabi in earnest, I’d offer my semesterly recommendation that @wcaleb.org's generic syllabus maker can generate a list of days your class will meetβ€”all you have to do is delete any holidays, etc. from the list wcaleb.rice.edu/syllabusmake...

I'm not a huge fan of the NYT, but to be fair, the piece was about why it cannot and should not be done.

Project MUSE - Learning to Read American Women Writers

A powerful piece by Patricia Okker, former President of the New College of Florida, on how reading American women writers can shape our current moment. This is what the humanities can do, and this is why they are so afraid of us. Free access from Legacy: muse.jhu.edu/article/959226

Undermining the NEH, National Archives, Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian all at once also tells us this 360 is not just about higher ed or research but about how we have (finally, slowly, imperfectly) expanded the American story.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Cory Booker: "I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America."

Historians, crawling back into daylight from the depths of despair: "Did somebody somewhere ask for some wretched truth?"

I appreciate your post. Can you explain what you think folks don't understand? That there are fewer jobs and that the search process is so much more difficult and traum
atic than it was? Or something more than that? I honestly want to know, I'm not trying to challenge you in any way.

We’ve had four consecutive years of 900+ fatalities on #Virginia roadways and what’s the Governor’s priority?

Going to the WH to single out four trans kids in our entire commonwealth who play sports with their friends.

The Governor needs to stop picking on kids and focus on fixing our roads.
