A well-balanced report on the value of homework. @BUWheelock

[BU Experts @BUexperts]

How much homework 📝 students should receive is highly debated among parents & educators. @BUWheelock's @jbempechat discusses the value of after 🏫 assignments, how they can help students with time management, & sharpen their study habits. @USNewsEducation https://t.co/ZBlQTbMXSz

Today's RRT highlights Dr. @jbempechat & Dr. @SalieA_ 's article, which examines how Black "South Africa adolescents conceptualized their outlooks on the past and the future." https://t.co/9QYvd2DFUk @BUWheelock

"We said enough is enough—we need counternarratives to this national discourse [of anti-immigrant rhetoric] to understand the impact of this harmful rhetoric on students & teachers" - Dr. Janine Bempechat on the motivation behind her latest book. Q&A ➡️ https://t.co/z43MmbaVxa

Proud to share this article w/ @drcdobbs where we used duoethnography to center WOC faculty and write a piece for ourselves, our WOC colleagues, the WOC whose shoulders we stand on, and the WOC who will come after us.

Thrilled to have received my signed copy of @herdyshepherd1 English Pastoral. And it feels so good knowing it came all the way from from the local @bookendsbookshop @herdyshepherd1 recommended to me @bookendsbookshopcarlisle

This is a very clear thread that you should read if you are affiliated with BU.

Cornell's provost sets a high threshold for possibly shuttering campus — 250 cases in seven days. https://t.co/eZE0rLppQd

"Colleges are forcing students to decide to return with minimal information. Such a dynamic doesn’t create a real choice for students; it makes them an offer they can’t refuse."

Excellent op-ed by @andrewvlorenzen describing the challenges students face.

[Journal of Professional Capital and Community @JPCCJournal]

A timely piece on supporting faculty from diverse backgrounds during the pandemic, @drcdobbs & @cmleider describe their experiences as women faculty of color, and explore how institutions can think of equity & diversity initiatives during & postpandemic: https://t.co/TzKkrR5gZL

@duecaution My department received this communication in the form of University Council meeting minutes. I had to forward it to colleagues in other departments who were upset about to signing.

BU’s COVID testing plan, like the Maginot Line of 1930s France, is as impressive as it is fatally flawed. The new coronavirus will slip through these defenses like the Wehrmacht through the Ardennes, and the battle for face-to-face instruction will be lost before it even began.

For weeks, #BostonUniversity philosophy professor @dan_star has demanded more representation of faculty perspectives in BU Today.

Today, the university-operated publication posted a POV piece that Star wrote in opposition of BU's reopening plan.

Is it just me, or is the @BU_Tweets graph of tests a bit deceptive? You can't even tell where the positives are because they're stacked under such a dark color #BeBetterBU #AshamedToBU #StillAPandemic

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

COVID-19 outbreaks have already started on college campuses, but we only know that because of voluntary reporting and smart student journalists. No national COVID-19 reporting standards exist for colleges. We want @HHSgov and @CDCgov to fix that now. https://t.co/3EoZ2G3gOL
