I’ll be switching to using @shantalrenee since I originally intended this account to be for a blog I ended a few years ago. Please follow me there!

People come to Vegas to live a little more “loosely” shall we say. Social distancing and mask wearing was doomed to fail. While this is disheartening (but not unexpected) it also makes me very relieved that our campus is mostly online this semester. https://t.co/j6BF0ygvy8

@rattijulia Thank you for the heads up! And for your comments on the floor tonight!

[Smartie Pop @Smartie_Pops]

@MelanieScheible I’m here for it!

I was happy to hear @Nicole4Nevada say earlier in the #nvleg special session that she would champion #NVHigherEd. I hope to see it in the discussion of #AB3 and the $25M #NSHE is being asked to cut on top of the cuts we've already made. #ProtectHigherEd

[Smartie Pop @Smartie_Pops]

@Cohen4AD29 I'm curious why $25M in furloughs were added back (furloughs we'd all come to terms with) and #NSHE was asked to cut a further $25M? As @laura_naumann mentioned, it seems like #NSHE is being "chastised" by #nvleg for having a diverse revenue portfolio. Isn't that a good thing?

[Smartie Pop @Smartie_Pops]

@Cohen4AD29 as your constituent and NV educator I’m asking for NO MORE CUTS to the #NSHE budget. We did what was asked by @GovSisolak People will lose jobs. Why increase unemployment and risk the graduation rates at our campuses? Zip: 89074

[Dr/Dra Molly Appel @MollyAppel]

@LisaKrasner4NV Please listen to the nearly 800 constituents who spoke out against further cuts to #NSHE . Choose to uplift instead of harm our most vulnerable and most essential future teachers, health care workers, and leaders of Nevada. #NVLeg #AB3

@Cohen4AD29 @GregBrownUNLV @caseyrlynch @laura_naumann @nvassemblydems @JasonFrierson @maggie_carlton @NVGOPAssembly @NVGOPSenate @Pickard4Nevada @GovSisolak @NSHE Assemblywoman Cohen - can I ask what the #nvleg thinks #NSHE was planning on doing with that money even if it WAS money you didn't know about? All of our money goes to benefit students. I feel like #NSHE is being accused of something nefarious but I can't really tell what or why.

[Smartie Pop @Smartie_Pops]

@Assemblywoman27 Block #NSHE cuts! We employ many great Nevadans. Deeper cuts means more layoffs and less likelihood of graduation for our diverse students, many who are hoping to be the first in their families to walk across the stage! #nvleg #AB3 #NSC #NevadaState #BeBold #BeGreat #BeState

[Laura Naumann, Ph.D. @laura_naumann]

Nevada has the worst unemployment numbers in the nation because of our over-reliance on the tourism and service industries. #HigherEd helps build a skilled and diversified workforce.

Protect funding to #NSHE and support Nevada's economic recovery.

#AB3 #HandsOffHigherEd

[Laura Naumann, Ph.D. @laura_naumann]

.@LisaKrasner4NV Session after session, #NSHE has always taken the brunt of further budget cuts. Please oppose any #AB3
amendments to add additional cuts to #HigherEd.

#NVLeg cuts hurt the students first and foremost, but also have implications for Nevada's economic recovery.

[Smartie Pop @Smartie_Pops]

So many in our #nvleg are graduates of our institutions. Are you really going to make it that much harder for current students to graduate and give back to their great state of Nevada?? No more #NSHE cuts! @Cohen4AD29 @JasonFrierson zip: 89074

[Smartie Pop @Smartie_Pops]

@SteveYeagerNV Please defend #NSHE. The #NFA proudly endorsed you in 2018 and we’ve offered our expertise whenever called on in testimony. We are all simply trying to bring a brighter future to our wonderful state! (See what I did there?)

[Smartie Pop @Smartie_Pops]

@SteveYeagerNV @capriottis Just remember not to take out your hunger on #NSHE when you all go to making any edits on the budget 😆

[Smartie Pop @Smartie_Pops]

I don't know how others feel but I like @StephenAtHome better with the fluffy hair. #ALateShow

[Smartie Pop @Smartie_Pops]

As a constituent of both @Cohen4AD29 @JoyceWoodhouse I'm asking you to make sure the FUTURE of Nevada is not compromised as we figure out the best way forward. We create the leaders the state will need tomorrow. #NSHE #ProudScorpion

[Katie Durante🍹🦕 @KatieD_PhD]

We ask our legislatures to please stand with #NSHE. No additional cuts! 5/5 #nvleg

[Smartie Pop @Smartie_Pops]

Growing up, when I tried to find shortcuts for my chores, my mom would say, "El flojo trabaja dos veces." Basically, trying to be lazy only gets you twice the work. This administration is full of flojos, trying to halfway solve a pandemic. #shutitdown #saveourlives

[Smartie Pop @Smartie_Pops]

@Cohen4AD29 Please vote NO on allowing the school district to take carry over money from Title I schools, which serve our most vulnerable students. Soft money is NOT dependable, especially now. They need to keep their reserves now more than ever!

[Smartie Pop @Smartie_Pops]

I'm excited that we've been able to move forward with our new School of Ed building. Nevada needs more teachers...and we're ready to provide excellent training! (The time lapse starts at 2:40 if you want to see the progress!) https://t.co/YQWUCjyMDy
