Congratulations to our RA Bella King on her first lead-authored publication. Our study found that higher state-level opportunity was linked to lower ACE exposure for White youth, but not for Black or Hispanic youth, highlighting structural inequities.

Curious what @BerkeleyLaw policy will be for faculty and AI. Yes, we do need structures to keep AI from impeding learning. those standards cannot only apply to students. Faculty should be banned from using AI to build course content, write their exams, for grading /feedback….

[The Daily Californian @dailycal]

The UC Berkeley School of Law has adopted a new policy that restricts the use of AI in academic work submitted for credit to ensure courses focus on “cognitive skills.” The policy prohibits AI use in conceptualization, revision, translation and exams

Grateful to @UCBerkeleyISSI for supporting bold visions of anti-racist and youth-driven #environmentaljustice research. I was in such incredibly inspiring company - among scholars with bold new visions of the academy.

@austin_doug13 Thank you for sharing this. Exactly. The silence within the academy is so disturbing.

This quote from Never Defeated is a call to action: “End performative allyship.” Dr. Monica Cox’s book challenges us to push for real change in our workplaces. Get inspired and take action. https://t.co/CqRdjazP10

the university model of treating students like customers is clearly evident in the violence done to them when they have differing opinions than that of entities that fund the school. students are understood in relation to profitability, not inherently valued as people.
