It's the first faculty strike in Rutgers University's 256-year history. Unions are seeking better compensation and more security for adjunct members, as well as protections for students.

[Rutgers AAUP-AFT Academic Worker Union @ruaaup]

For the first time in the history of Rutgers University, all three faculty, grad, EOF, and postdoc unions have voted to go on strike. Monday morning, we are ON STRIKE. See you on the picket line. #RUOnStrike

[AFT @AFTunion]

Rutgers works because @RUAAUP, @RUAAUP_PTL, and Rutgers faculty work.

We stand in solidarity with them as they fight for the Rutgers students deserve.

Sharing an infographic I put together comparing Khan Academy and Codecademy as resources for learning to code/program. Sharing this in case it may be handy to others as well :)

@FinalCrisisCore @aRedDuke @trevbrunnen @hankgreen @ProfToddC I hear you but a lot of time and care goes into writing good tests and lessons. You may not want teachers having to redo this work each semester to maintain quality. Also, I think maybe 10 or 15% of your tuition is likely going toward the professor's salary?

@howellspace @TheCrashCourse World History was my first as well, and Crash Course has greatly influenced me as a returning student. It's so great to have options like this to learn in a fun way that weren't around just ten or twenty years ago.

Good luck with the rest of your schooling!

@exfoleyator @GimletUnion So sorry to hear of this. Thank you and the rest of @replyall team for hours of not just great entertainment but much-needed companionship and laughs.

@hodgman Hey Judge, this is a long shot but I'm a long time listener of yours and always remember you having a soft spot for library workers. Please check out a petition I've started at https://t.co/MJib3mBDN8 to try and help a dedicated group of library workers get fair wages?
