@drjonessoc CC-- 5% for assistant to associate, same for associate to full. For me going to associate, it worked out to about 3k.

@GrimmProspects My conclusion was two pages long. You’re almost there.

@louisvirtel Please don’t tell me my dog is fat, I can’t take that shame…

[Anne Canavan @a_canavan]

@dpeterfreund Yes, NC and TN

@RideUTRU Is “dear God, save me from Utah drivers” a catchy slogan?

@TheBloggess Be at peace, like a border collie with all the toys

@megandfigueroa @tortiiIIas @uarizona When I was teaching at NIU as a grad student, we had a shooting, and five students lost their lives. It’s the worst thing imaginable, for the community and for you. It’ll never heal, but eventually it might make you more committed to the work. But we’ll never be ok.

My take on what’s happening at #emporiastate as a former English faculty member. TLDR: this is a Koch driven attack on higher education as a public good, and retaliatory against faculty who spoke out. Also F*#% them.

[Noah Eppens @NoahEppens]

Today, I sat in the @esubulletin office awaiting confirmed faculty dismissals. I've been writing and updating a story with the numbers and departments. Words can't express how I feel today, especially when I had to add my mentor to the growing list of faculty let go today.

[Anne Canavan @a_canavan]

This is a big deal, and a testing ground for Koch influence in higher Ed. I used to teach at ESU, and the faculty were dedicated to their students. This is a manufactured crisis in search of a pre-determined solution.

@Paul_Petrovic @DrMLovesLit @pres__play Whitehead has played well here for me and a colleague.

[Michelle Pacansky-Brock @brocansky]

Hi. Please include community college representatives on panels about the future of education. More than 40% of undergrad students in the U.S. attend a #CommunityCollege & most (~56%) identify as a person of color. When CCs are left out, structural inequities are reinforced.

[Anne Canavan @a_canavan]

Ok, I am often driven to tears or near-murderous rages by my gerrymandered representation, but they got it right this time.

@LizWFab Hired. Because even my phone is embarrassed by how bougie I’ve become.

[Anne Canavan @a_canavan]

@LizWFab Bored a housekeeper for the first time ever. She comes tomorrow and I am both excited and nervous

[Anne Canavan @a_canavan]

@EricSDet And this is why I just record all my classes and post them now. Tired of pretending we aren’t in a crisis

[Anne Canavan @a_canavan]

We bend over backwards not to let our students know how we think, while praying that the skill of critical thinking will help. In the meantime, their rights are being eroded. They beg us to help, and we hide.

[Anne Canavan @a_canavan]

I am fucking pissed. I am angry, hurt, and I want to burn something down. Like the person’s house who tells people to “keep their legs closed.” And tomorrow? I won’t bring it to my college classes. Because the left Isn’t indoctrinating anyone. And fuck you for thinking so.

If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control
