"...the results support the double standard hypothesis and provide evidence that different outcomes in P&T decision-making processes contribute to the sustained underrepresentation of URM faculty in tenured faculty positions."

@B_ElijahCarter Didn’t know about the authors explaining the limitations of their work though. Would love for you to share that nuance with me by email though. I appreciate you highlighting that part.

@RattusFlattus@_ally_oops_ Not super concerned with bad diagnoses. More concerned that the people tasked to support students with disability are trapped in a system that makes it hard for them to be their best selves for the students.
@RattusFlattus@_ally_oops_ Happy to respond. Twitter generally not the best platform for discussing complex issues. Retweet does not equal full endorsement. As a parent of a child with disability I see both the need and flaws of the system. Would love to hear from you through email. Peace and love.
