This feels like administrator stenography - we just take the administration’s word on why ppl were fired, that terminations are necessary, that there’s no other way to address a budget deficit? How many administrators took pay cuts? How many of them were invited to resign?
Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi.
The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges.
America must secure her release NOW.
The bombardment on Gaza increases every day, becoming more violent and intense, and the number of martyrs is rising. The tanks are moving toward us from the east, narrowing the space we can move in, while destroying everything in their path. Food has begun to noticeably deplete, life has become harsher than ever before, and I inhale the scent of blood more than the air itself. Rats and mice live with us as if they are part of the family, and our children suffer every form of torment that could never cross a human mind.
The life of lab rats is better than ours.
Fuck every human being who watches our annihilation and does not move or speak out for us. Fuck Israel every time the sun rises and every time it sets.
@whitstrub guessing it’s not the “in-person” that’s banned but the “proctored.” I did my PhD at Notre Dame and tho proctoring wasn’t prohibited, students would be insulted if you stayed in the room while they took exams. ND had a student honor code and it was part of their whole identity
Barack Obama entered office wiping his hands of the first concerted Gaza genocide in 2008-09, saying “there’s only one president at a time.” Obama campaigned for president in an “I ❤️ Sderot” T-shirt in Israel.
Obama was known as “the deportation king” well before Trump got into the game and deported more ppl from the US than any other president in US history.
