Higher education economist @williamandmary. Went to @KenyonCollege and @DukeU. Love New Mexico, and cats. My @OxUniPress books shown above.
Opinions my own.
@GlennYoungkin Shameless? What's shameless is your hypocrisy about Gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is only what "they" do that diminishes "my" likelihood of winning.
This is just tit for tat power politics, and you know that. These posts are just for braindead people.
@tedcruz If Virginia passes this, even by a thousand votes, I will dance on your hypocritical electoral grave.
After Texas, this is exactly what the Democrats needed to do. Maybe after 2029 what's left of the GOP will agree to an arms control treaty to limit Gerrymandering nationally.
@ass_deans Umm, in the dim past someone from my department (economics) was tasked with leading the music department. Someone from biology was tasked with leading philosophy. Thatβs a big ask for a real dean to make.π
@FPWellman@greggnunziata Oh, he is quite serious. Anything the Democrats do to Gerrymander their own states is somehow filthy, especially if that Democratic action balances what they have done for years in red states.
@FPWellman@GlennYoungkin Blatant lie? Nope.
Unconstitutional? Well, the Virginia Supreme Court didn't think so.
Why does Youngkin use this language? Because MAGA voters eat it up and most haven't the brainpower to think seriously about any of the issues.
@elonmusk People in your position in the gilded age created non-profit institutions to better the human condition and left the running of those institutions to others who were professionals.
Michael Bloomberg donated over $1B to Johns Hopkins so that the university could go need blind.
@IAPonomarenko When will you take down Moscowβs grid? I would think all of those nice flamingo cruise missiles, coupled with a wave of powerful drones, could get that job done and send a signal.
@NickKristof An object lesson that there is evil in the world. The gratuitous cruelty is the point. This is the modern Republican Party. If you vote Republican, you own this. It tells us exactly who you are.
Is there a Democrat in the Senate with some gonads who might pull some senior military men aside (Trump has fired most of the women) and whisper a warning.
If you go kill in a Trump war in Venezuela to divert public attention in the US, then in 2029 if politics changes,
2/ for the university that is transparent and working in the institution's best interests.
I do understand the irony of needing political intervention from Richmond in order to restore a leadership at UVA that is depoliticized and working collaboratively with ALL stakeholders.
I don't post much over here any more, but this episode of higher education soap opera in Virginia deserves attention.
I'm increasingly convinced that the Spanberger administration needs to clean house at UVA in order to restore an autonomous governance

@jackstripling It's increasingly clear to me that the Spanberger administration needs to clean house at UVA in order to restore an autonomous governance that is transparent and working in the institution's best interest.
The rector and vice rector need to be removed.
I do understand ...
