Just ordered! Can’t wait to read the always great @jlweisenfeld.bsky.social ‘s latest. #AcademicSky #EduSky #HigherEd

#AcademicSky #EduSky A friendly reminder that as of June 2024, Johns Hopkins' endowment is over $13 BILLION. That's up $3 billion from June 2023. Are you telling me that those 2,000 workers cost you $3 billion ($1.5 million each)? Even with restrictions, you have the money! Give me a fucking break.

REST IN PEACE TO BREONNA TAYLOR (June 5, 1993 – March 13, 2020)

#AcademicSky #EduSky UMass has a $1.5 BILLION endowment. Up 31% since 2019. But yeah, better tighten those purse strings. Gross. 🤮

Here we go. Not remotely surprised. Harvard, MIT, U of Vermont, Notre Dame, and Emory too. More will follow. Terrible news for those of us finishing our PhDs and looking for academic jobs. #AcademicSky #EduSky

#AcademicSky #EduSky Pass it on!

Anyone surprised by this? Probably the first of many. #AcademicSky #EduSky

Just directly emailed the CEO of Target 🎯 to let him know I’ll no longer be shopping there. Cancelling my RedCard too. It took me about five minutes and three clicks to find his email address. I encourage you to do the same. www.reuters.com/business/ret...

GoFundMe is going to MATCH all donations to this fundraiser up to $250,000 Letz go,!! 🙏🏾

Devastated to learn from my colleague Don Romesburg that the Sonoma State University Women’s and Gender Studies Department is being eliminated, and all its tenured faculty are being fired, as part of “budget reductions”. wgs.sonoma.edu

Higher-ed faculty, we should ask how far our institutions will go to protect us when we refuse to comply with ICE. We need to be asking chairs, deans, union presidents what they're going to do to protect us should we refuse ICE entry to our classrooms or should we refuse to identify a student.

I hope you'll consider donating. Funds will be distributed directly to Black people and families in need. gofund.me/54cd17c2 Thank you for organizing, @flavorflav.bsky.social !

It’s been inspiring to see everyone come together for LA,,, but there’s one community I need to highlight. Not enough is being done for the black families after the LA fires. Ive partnered up with GoFundMe and the BMAC to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

#OTD in 1929, we celebrate Dr. King’s true birthday—separate from the later holiday. The same issues he marched against decades ago still impact our world today. Let’s remember his example of nonviolent civil disobedience and keep working to make his dream a reality.

I don't know what justice would be, but they were all found guilty and M. Pelicot will likely never be a free man again. My editorial for the Guardian on this trial coming shortly (UK editor was waiting for me to review last changes). www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

how many years will Americans allow themselves to live in a country where guns are the leading cause of death of children? 30 years? 50? 100?
