Higher Ed PhD candidate & IES predoctoral fellow @umich. Figuring out how to contribute to ongoing efforts to build more just colleges + cities. (she/her)

Thinking about all those who have been turned away from the hospital and told to go home. Who have been forced to decide between their job and their health. Who were as careful as they could be. Who have gotten exposed to this virus because of other people’s callous indifference.

Haven't read it yet? Here you go...sending you off into the weekend with a lot to think about...

A personal statement on the end of the #StrikeForSafeCampus from an ordinary @geo3550 member:

Thank you for listening. It's a long thread. 0/13

[KC Deane @KC_Deane]

Living our values is rarely easy, but that's exactly what @geo3550 did for the sake of our community. @UMich? Not so much. Now, excuse me, while grad students across the university—and in UM's very own higher ed dept—process what we've witnessed and experienced. #UMMakesUsSick

[Cassandra Arroyo @FutureDrArroyo]

If you are a @UMich faculty member or administrator and are NOT holding space for students in your classroom, research team, work meetings to just unpack what’s happening on campus right now, then you should not be calling yourself an educator. We are more than our labor

[KC Deane @KC_Deane]

I’ll second this motion.

[Kristen Glasener, PhD @kglasenerPhd]

If this UM faculty senate meeting is any indication of what it means to be a faculty member, then count me out. This is a dumpster fire. #UMMakesUsSick

[College Excellence Program @AspenHigherEd]

Writing about ICE rules? Know that 31% of foreign US college students w/visa (and 48% of resident alien students) attend #communitycollege.

Also, "hybrid" reopening plans aren't hybrid for all programs. Students in some majors won't have option of face-to-face instruction.

[KC Deane @KC_Deane]

Well said, @deandad. https://t.co/4KGIdLbCJh

[KC Deane @KC_Deane]

Thank you, @becksup. This matters. The first few times I spoke with reporters about my/my organization's work, I wrote beforehand a bulleted list of the reasons why my voice belonged in the conversation alongside older, better-known male colleagues (and bosses). Calmed my nerves. https://t.co/jpuvziJ9jE

[Beckie Supiano @becksup]

Well, I've been thinking about it for a while, and I've hit my breaking point. From now on, when experts who are women tell me that a topic is maybe, slightly outside of their expertise, I won't just let it go.

[Jason De León @jason_p_deleon]

Right now many Americans are saying “separating kids from their parents is not who we are.” Remember that our border policy known as “prevention through deterrence” has literally killed thousands of people since the 1990’s. Brutalizing migrants has long been the American way.

[Lauren Schudde @LaurenSchudde]

Yes, we need to level the playing field to improve access to elite colleges. But, given space constraints, we also need to develop policies and practices to improve outcomes where most citizens enroll - CCs and other broad-access colleges. https://t.co/YU4nHLnCaA

[UNC System @UNC_System]

Representatives from UNC System and @NCCommColleges gathered for the first time to address how universities can redesign math curricula to allow students flexibility to map pathways that link their math requirements to their degree and career goals.

It warms my heart that @CommunityCCRC's 100th working paper is all about #tacklingtransfer. What we can learn from transcript data about excess credit accumulation: https://t.co/K2oU8yOLSV

[KC Deane @KC_Deane]

I'm certain that my research project will benefit from the feedback he provided! https://t.co/sdHxSKYrKd

[KC Deane @KC_Deane]

Because we won't stop until all students who want to transfer have the opportunity to do so, new today an implementation guide to help states convene two- and four-year colleges to continue the necessary work of #tacklingtransfer. https://t.co/aHYGDkK016
