Yesterday was kind of a big deal in Massachusetts! Finally, undocumented students have access to in-state tuition 🥳 Grateful for the advocates and the policymakers who met the moment.

Talk about multiple streams and advocacy coalition.

"The fight continues, but it must be waged differently—with more courage to confront our legacies head on... and to understand that colorblind rhetoric will do nothing to solve color-bound problems." https://t.co/3bR2mcM5Wm

@BryanBanksPhD Congratulations and good luck! - I believe serving as chair is one of the hardest jobs on campus and it is critically important.

[Tara L. Parker @TaraLParker]

@BryanBanksPhD When I first accepted the role of dept chair, one of my colleagues/mentors told me to focus on 3 things: create; communicate; and care; and not in that order. I served for 7 years and i believe the advice served the dept and me well.

“I think sometimes the way that structural racism works, it pits leaders & families against each other w/partial information to sensationalize something, versus bringing together people who probably have a lot of common ground.” @EmbraceBOS @bostonfdn https://t.co/vbf2l9EdjI

@nmclaren @AlliPatter Yes! Starting teaching CRT in 2015 and had a hip-hop soundtrack that accompanied the course each semester. Music was a real part of the curriculum.
