“Schools must resist the pressures placed on them by politicians seeking to exploit campus tensions”

Open Letter to College and University Presidents on Student Protests

aclu.org/news/free-spee…

Funny how another UT campus had the exact same protest with no state troopers and no arrests.

It's almost like the proximity to Governor Abbott was the key factor.

From leaders of UT Austin’s Faculty Council on the pro-Palestine protest:

“We are gravely alarmed by yesterday’s events on our campus–including President Hartzell’s decision to invite DPS officers, armed and in riot gear, onto the Forty Acres to disrupt a non-violent protest.”

Join us today! We’re describing the HABS-HD dataset & discussing some recent research findings that help clarify disparities in ADRD.

Our postdoc ad, for the UT Austin location, is up! For our (Vonetta Dotson Alexandra L. Clark Vince Calhoun @vcalhoun.bsky.social) NIA multi-year, multisite grant exploring the neurocognitive mechanisms of depression, memory impairment, and decline in racially and ethnically diverse adults. Apply/forward!

Real question to my faculty brothers and sisters in Texas.

Has #SB17 impaired your scholarly activities ?
(Think proposal submissions, trainee retention, collaboration, etc).

Answers are anonymous.

I committed to a hard stop on work at certain time w/ my collabofriends.

I did not adhere to said commitment tonight & got this gem of a response back when discussing a research statement.

You need good ppl that show up & match your energy, & those that keep it real with you.

We're (Vonetta Dotson Alexandra L. Clark Vince Calhoun @vcalhoun.bsky.social) are hiring postdocs to work on our NIA multi-year, multisite grant exploring the neurocognitive mechanisms of depression, memory impairment, and decline in racially and ethnically diverse adults.

Well, I was impressed with totality and the kids that showed up to class today. #TotalEclipse2024

“Several said that they actively didn’t respond to emails, or acted in an exaggerated disorganised manner. This meant they were assigned fewer tasks, but were also less frequently asked, and thus got away without doing service.”
Shocked? Not!!
