Today the bill granting collective bargaining rights to Maryland's non-tenure track faculty passed out of the Senate!

Unfortunately while certain groups of non-tenure track faculty are omitted, today's vote brings us closer than ever to granting all faculty the rights... [1/3]

When ‘Their Eyes Were Watching God’ was first being recovered and taught in black feminist classrooms, students had to take turns photocopying the teacher’s out of print volume

[giramata @gira_amata]
