The norm in higher ed is silence. When something bad happens, the goal of an organization is to protect itself. The integrity of an org is compromised bc good and bad people are covered under the protection of an organization. That waters down the power of accountability.

I really wish people would stop drastically using the scenarios of rape or incest as the sole premise for an abortion. A woman doesn’t have to be in a traumatic situation for it to be reason enough. In fact there is zero explanation that needs to be given.
Wealthy white women will have zero trouble getting abortions and/or birth control. It’ll be the poor black and brown women living in red states who will be effected by this the most.
I keep thinking about how, with two months notice that this ruling was coming, the democratic-controlled congress not only *didn't* codify abortion rights, but overwhelmingly passed a security bill protecting these SCOTUS justices
