Full time Howard Faculty. CRT. Women and Gender Studies. Advisor. Writer. Peace Giver. Equality Warrior. Teacher. Doer of the Word. Skillful Dreamer. Open Ear.
And by "secret," I mean those of us who've been here a minute already know this, and all ya'll new dearhearts are about to find out. I promise- it's not you! The dysfunction precedes us all!!!
The big secret at Howard is that EVERY SINGLE OFFICE is currently staffed by 0-2 people. And those 0-2 people are responsible for EVERYTHING in the WHOLE school relating to whatever critically important thing their office does.
If it has to come to this it will. Students DO NOT CROSS THE PICKET LINE. Boycott classes Wed-Fri if an agreement is NOT reached between HU administration and faculty by the end of today. #HowardStrike ✊🏾
See. We were in a session WITH YOU and you all asked for a break to figure out dates for our next bargaining session. What you meant was you wanted to go get your press release out??!!!!

@HowardU Seriously stop. Between this and the fiasco with unsafe housing for the hard-working students this is beyond ridiculous. We don’t need any more tone deaf automated responses. Just do the right and practical thing by the amazing students and professors. It’s really not that hard
Language matters. Stop defining teachers based on lack. Define us based on what we DO, not what we don't have.
We use "teaching-focused faculty" to define ourselves. @michiganstateu is slow to catch on, but we'll get them there.
#solidarity with our colleagues at Howard.
Solidarity with faculty at @HowardUniv who will go on strike if the university refuses to agree to a fair contract and pay them a living wage! Howard can do better than $40k for a faculty job. #HowardStrike
Yesterday, I asked... Today, a friend answered, "Yes, yes we have heard from Nikole." I was wrong. And I apologize. Thanks for the public support, Professor. We hope the Administration will listen to a voice as prominent as yours. #HowardStrike#howHard
Spin is one thing. But you a fucking lie. After almost four years straight of giving us your entire ass to kiss, now you want to claim you've been in fair negotiations and we are the hold up??? #HowardStrike#howHard#BlackburnTakeover https://t.co/7mQcR1qniP
It's #WomensHistoryMonth! True story... Howard has no clear family leave policies in place for contingent faculty. Yesterday, two @LecturersHU shared their experiences of having families @HowardU. Please help us amplify 🚨🗣️ https://t.co/6u4sLvjp3o

Dr. Marcus Alfred has been standing up and fighting for all the right things regarding the students and his fellow faculty. It's unjust and unfair that Howard doesn't do right by the people who continually strive to make this school be what it appears to be in name alone, smh.
