Also, aren't they just never going to get the funding? The whole point was to destroy all of Higher Ed, why would they think that funding would ever be restored?

caroline-fohlin.bsky.social•69 days ago

They'll just keep demanding more. And it will never end.

ruhmer.bsky.social•69 days ago

You given an inch and they will take autonomy.

ansleyerickson.bsky.social•69 days ago

Agreed. We are speaking up where we can.

I heard they are going to ban masks on campus which means any student of campus employee who cannot risk getting covid (or measles or bird flu etc) will not be safe on site. I’d love to see staff mention the ablism of the mask ban.

ansleyerickson.bsky.social•69 days ago

Good point. Thank you for mentioning. There is a lot to say about ableism and the way this campus has been transformed over the last 1.5 years.

ianmac234.bsky.social•69 days ago

Thank you so much for sharing this! I actually work at TC, and I really appreciate you and the rest of the faculty who are speaking up

Same - what can we do to support?

tenmoku.bsky.social•69 days ago

This CUSSW alumni fully supports this letter.

Seems like education would be a good place for Melinda Gates and MacKenzie Scott to get involved with their millions?

As a CU alum, married to another alum, a former tenured (retired) faculty of Columbia I say Brava/Bravo! To all who signed and who have backbones and principles. And a very lg F to those who do not.

This great grandson is glad you are.

Thank you! Sign and share!! A national group of scientists, healthcare workers & researchers have written a parallel sign-on letter, calling our univerisies to fight these existential threats our professions, our science, scholarship, and our democracy! https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/f0d9fae6cab01e780c4d70f674f4dfac39a3924c/?hash=138791fcee033486fd03e6fc39a7d462

@columbiauniversity.bsky.social does not care about its students, quality & accessible education, opportunities for research & advancement, the free & respectful exchange of all ideas, democratic principles or the future of young people.

Columbia cares about money.

This middle school teacher and administrator thanks you.

shaenon.bsky.social•69 days ago

I can't help noticing how many broke-ass public schools are standing up to tyranny while some of the wealthiest, most powerful universities in the country cower and whine.

ckjohnsonbk.bsky.social•69 days ago

Columbia U is a REIT with a pesky school attached.
