OCR Q and A on its Dear Colleague letter: 1) segregation is illegal 2) curriculum should be in the hands of professionals 3) policies that are coded by negatively impact one race over another should be investigated. Here's the thing: #3 aligns with all the work being done for equity. 😶

Moreover, the newest letter from OCR illustrates that higher education has, broadly, been working within Civil Rights laws for decades, and changes are not necessary as a result of the Dear Colleague letter. Join us at education4allhub.com to learn more.

Monday, 2/10, 1-2 EST, I will be on A Public Affair streaming on @Wortfm.org. Looking forward to discussing the work of higher education in a context questioning value, our link to social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion and where we can seek to deliver on American promises.

This illustrates the issue is not the content but the idea and implementation of a process for the political sphere to limit knowledge for its own power.

This is a visual representation of what I call The Nostalgia Spectrum. How we view history (curriculum) is intertwined with the racialized present and future we see. And complacency is a weapon white nationalism depends on and uses to continue its work.

Here is why finding work around is detrimental to the country and students. We need coalitions to assert higher Ed’s work: ‘The best pedagogy and scholarship cannot occur without attending to paradigmatic DEI concerns.’ www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

In an ideal world, faculty would continuously report feeling more academic freedom; stemming from a public sphere committed to inclusion, and exchange of worthy ideas. The attack on academics, institutional autonomy, and DEI, has led to over 1/3 reporting less than before. That is not a win.
