Congratulations to my amazing colleague @StephMTully and her co-author @wdlrosa for receiving the "Research in Practice Award". This paper is rigorous and relevant. Read it if you haven't yet π
@timobres We need this so much right now. I look around me, and I see a lot of bureaucracy and very little courage in our university leadership. We will look back at this with deep shame.
Interested in pursuing a PhD in Marketing at @USCMarshall ? Join us for an info session next week (Thurs, 11/2 from 4-5pm Pacific). Meet Profs @GuldenUlkumen, @real_k_diehl, @KalindaUkanwa,
and additional MKT faculty and current PhD students. Register: https://t.co/2oCOwVauN2
π§΅Last night, I spoke to four Jewish students from @cooperunion. Three of them were barricaded inside the library while the pro-Hamas protestors were violently banging on doors. A few take-aways according to student accounts of the incident:
@paulgp I have a minor comment. I would suggest that you split the two statements. Your first short paragraph condemns the terrorist attack. The rest of the lengthy statement condemns the Israeli response. I think that the attack was heinous enough to deserve its own statement.
I am in pain, to see the unimaginable atrocities and brutality that have been levied upon the Israeli civilians by the terrorist organization, Hamas. Hundreds of civilians murdered, babies beheaded, women raped, paraded, executed.
I am in shock to see the terrorist sympathizers across our universities, in including my own Stanford University, who try to justify the horrific massacre of the Jewish people.
I am appalled by the moral cowardice of the Harvard University administration for failing to strongly denounce such statements by their student organizations.
Let me be clear. This is a massacre, a genocide. This is terrorism to the most horrific order.
The horror evokes for me the memories of the Nanjing Massacre (in my home province) which saw the Japanese Imperial Army murder 300,000 Chinese civilians in the course of one week. What is more, they murdered and raped with zeal, holding contests to see which officer could behead Chinese men at the highest speed. This is what's happening to Israeli citizens, right now, in this day and age.
This impacts all mankind. When we do not stand up to terrorism, it comes to us all sooner or later. When we do not stand up to terrorism, tomorrow it will be our sons, our daughters, our mothers, our fathers, our brothers and our sisters.
I stand in solidarity with the people of Israel.
Iβve directed City Hall to be lit in solidarity with Israel this evening.
Los Angeles stands with the people of Israel and unequivocally condemns these attacks.
7/ There are some issues in public life that might prompt impassioned debate, then there are moments of unmistakable moral clarity that demand unequivocal, universal condemnation. This is one of those moments. It is good vs. evil. Thatβs it.
