ESF Family

small college, big family, trying to improve some Earth. all families go through tough times...what matters is that we stay together.

Congrats to the @sunyesf Class of 2018! Your hard work will lead to great things in the future. #SUNYGrad #SUNYCompletes

[ESF Family @ESF_Fam]

"engaged" barely scratches the surface of what these young'uns have done for their fam over the last months...when your children act like leaders, and your leaders act like children, you know change is coming. @USAatESF @esfGrad

"Historically, the formal environmental movement’s haven’t done a great job looking at issues of inequality." Check out this interview with Lemir Teron.

The 2018 Girls Summit is coming! ESF is collaborating with Girls Inc. and others to offer workshops for girls from 5th to 10th grade so they can try their hand at 'non-traditional' fields. https://t.co/jMVPDsg2u5

"Compassion and empathy are #1. I don't think you can build a team without them ... your people are your most important resource. Integrity and credibility. These are things that are easy to lose and very hard to get back." 🤔@uupesfchapter @USAatESF https://t.co/9MUSRzF49A

4/ the Plan assigns credit for & control of ESF's ongoing relationships with Native communities (built over decades by Dr. Kimmerer et al) to the President's Special Advisor, who has no connections to this work, or the Onondaga Nation, thus jeopardizing relations built on trust https://t.co/NJYRQo7OOv

Most members of ESF Family agree: Quentin Wheeler's "Pursuit of Excellence Plan DRAFT v4", has all sorts of critical problems, both in its substance and in the way it was 'communicated' to our community. So many questions, so few answers... @USAatESF @esfGrad @FollowNifkin

[ESF Family @ESF_Fam]

3/ enrollment increases in the Plan don't jive with campus at/near capacity, w/yrs deferred maint., no new/temp spaces, no surge plan yet to handle Marshall going offline for 2-3 years. any wonder that Admin are now frantically poking into all nooks and crannies to find space? https://t.co/NJYRQo7OOv

2/ the Plan creates a Gen Ed Dept with 8 faculty hires in arts, humanities and physics, under supervision of our least experienced (but most loyal-obedient) Chair. Why? Not clear. ESF worked out a new deal with SU on accessory instruction in 2016. Are we backing out of that now? https://t.co/NJYRQo7OOv

1/ the Plan mentions reorganization of academic units & programs, but says nothing about *how* this will occur, or affect enrollment, current students, faculty, etc. When asked by GSA, Wheeler waffled, said he'd "delete it if I could." Isn't this *his* plan? Sure ain't ours 🤔 https://t.co/NJYRQo7OOv

It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. #tolkien
