Getting Started

I ❤️ Rutgers Faculty Senate.

Thank you @commondreams.org for the coverage! www.commondreams.org/news/rutgers...

Much appreciation for sharing out the work of our Senate!

Look at the interest this idea has generated: 1.5K reposts + 4K likes in ~23 hours. People are HUNGRY for ideas that paint an imaginable path out of this mess. Find a way to feed that hunger with your own work, wherever you are. Hooray again for Rutgers faculty, staff, etc! And write RU president!

That post about the amazing Rutgers University Senate initiative for the Big Ten is going viral and folks are inadvertently teaching me sports lingo. Diversity makes the world go round!

This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.

This passed in the Rutgers Senate yesterday: senate.rutgers.edu/report/resol...
