@DalePerizzolo Thanks for reading!

[Paul Tough @paultough]

@bophaphorn Thank you! Very nice of you to say.

[Paul Tough @paultough]

@sternbergh Yeah like where can I read old Fametracker posts now?

If we have to pay adequate wages, that could hurt our transformative work on economic inequality.

@ot_ford Good lord. Princeton’s huge endowment is relevant to a discussion of its overall financial resources, as is its $2 billion annual operating budget. What’s your point?

[Paul Tough @paultough]

@ot_ford @caro @mattyglesias @jessesingal Yes, Princeton is very hard up. Bloomfield should definitely give back the $25,000.

[Paul Tough @paultough]

@caro @mattyglesias @jessesingal And last month Bloomfield finally found a savior, not in Princeton but in Montclair State. https://t.co/qQhtlNQrzv

@caro @mattyglesias @jessesingal I hope that's true, but I note that a year ago, Bloomfield put out a desperate plea for some kind of partnership with other higher ed institutions: https://t.co/4ZBbIXSTmR

[Paul Tough @paultough]

@caro @mattyglesias @jessesingal This $25,000 grant? Or is there another transfer of material resources going on? Just a reminder that Princeton has $36 billion in the bank right now... https://t.co/o3HLYPUrEU

Well-endowed highly exclusionary universities asking job candidates to submit DEI statements rather than transferring material resources to the educational institutions that serve large underprivileged populations is pretty comical.

Mitch Daniels became the president of Purdue in January 2013.

Some personal news! Today I (Stephen) am launching the Center for Building in North America, a nonprofit devoted to policy analysis and advocacy around construction in the US and Canada, and especially building codes https://t.co/6kXGCP8wXL

If you want to celebrate and share your joy of liberation of Kherson with Ukrainians, consider a donation for volunteers supplying tactical medicine kits to 🇺🇦 armed forces. Ukrainian soldiers get killed and wounded every day, these kits save lives: https://t.co/Lk6e9MZP5I

Once again, Democrats won a majority of Americans who make less than $50,000, while Republicans won a majority of $100,000+ income earners.

Narrative that the GOP has become the working class party remains overly simplistic (and requires ignoring non-white Americans to be true).

@sternbergh Weird timing - the baby was just elected to Congress.

In 2015 I wrote that complaints and lawsuits brought by Edward Blum, et al, might backfire, serving as an accidental attack on the one thing opponents of race-aware admissions love above all else, The SAT. #EMTalk

Can we get a round of applause for the consultants running against Marjorie Taylor Greene in the Trump +37% #GA14 for surpassing $15.6 million in contributions for the 2022 cycle?

Just an amazing achievement in the wide-scale destruction of Democratic donor money.

@USProgressives @QuincyInst @WinWithoutWar @justfp @FCNL If the letter was sent out by a staffer, unvetted, as @PramilaJayapal now claims, who wrote this detailed thread making the case that "now is the time" for appeasement?

[Paul Tough @paultough]

@chrislhayes @JStein_WaPo The Progressive Caucus account tweeted about it! It was totally vetted. Don't fall for this spin. https://t.co/DiDATWKHFz

[Progressive Caucus @USProgressives]

NEW: 30 members of Congress are urging President Biden to pursue direct diplomacy for a negotiated settlement to end Russia’s war in Ukraine.

The letter recognizes the difficulties involved in engaging Russia given its illegal invasion — but make the case that now is the time 🧵
