Faculty are 25 times more likely to have a parent with a PhD.

I just remembered that when I was a kid, our window AC unit leaked onto our carpet and a giant mushroom appeared overnight.

If you're 1st gen and you also had a mushroom in your living room I see you.

@EddieComeaux @GlobalSportMtrs Black athletes specifically are exploited for their athletic abilities and not nearly compensated the way they should be. Their problems are minimized to not make these accommodations. Their needs are not being met, diminishing their chances for a positive college experience.

[Jennifer Ocegueda @joceg002]

@ucrleabeee @besavageee The six subdivisions of the EBA are definitely a step in the right direction. It prevents black college athletes from the exploitative nature that the NCAA elicits through their negligence for accommodating for students who have been historically marginalized. #ucr150

Teachers aren’t trained to take a bullet. But they will. Out of purest form of love for their students. Our children.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

To ask teachers to be on the front line of mass shootings, the front line of a pandemic, and the front line of the struggle against inequality all while underpaying them and systematically underfunding the education system is both cruel and a recipe for societal collapse.

[Jennifer Ocegueda @joceg002]

College institutions exploit African American students and fail to prioritize their academics. This deceitful act becomes more problematic because these students compromise their academic futures for a program that does not pay them adequately.

@duran_m22 @besavageee I agree that the NCAA promoting an exploitative environment. The NCAA works hard to make sure that student athletes prioritize their sport instead of their education. This limits their academic freedom & restricts them from unlocking true academic potential
#ucr150 @besavageee

[Jennifer Ocegueda @joceg002]

A student-athlete’s priorities need to lie in their education. There should be strict rules that prohibit coaches from advising their players to miss class. The NCAA should also offer their students management help to balance school/work/sports better.

[Jennifer Ocegueda @joceg002]

@i_aguayo2 @besavageee I completely agree that the NCAA’s transfer limitations for student-athletes are created to minimize deter and even scare students from transferring. Student athletes transferring are treated as liabilities because colleges are scared of losing money.

[Jennifer Ocegueda @joceg002]

The NCAA’s 4-4 rule implementation for transfer students impedes on academic mobility in their institution. It shows their priorities and inclination to favor the institution over the student. Also how little they value the academic careers of their students. #ucr150 @besavageee

[Jennifer Ocegueda @joceg002]

@sandyespinozaa @besavageee I agree with you completely Sandy. I think concussion management should be required by coaches but recommended for athletes. Creating a safe community where athletes feel protected and valued should be an institution’s priority. #ucr150 @besavageee

[Jennifer Ocegueda @joceg002]

The NCAA does not require coaches to be concussion-educated. Instead, it is something they can do voluntarily. Injury is common in sports. Coaches should be required to ensure their athletes' safety and longevity in the sport. #ucr150 @besavageee

[Jennifer Ocegueda @joceg002]

@Adriana_Orozco7 @besavageee It’s recognized that schools are not universally complaint with Title IX. There have been multiple attempts to avoid this law. This represents how much society values male superiority and how much society will not accommodate for other groups if it poses a threat to men. #ucr150

[Jennifer Ocegueda @joceg002]

@TeresaOro007 @besavageee Title IX is important in higher education because of the necessary human right for men and women to have equal representation, in educational settings. This equal access, support, and funding are all essential for female involvement in collegiate sports. #ucr150

[Jennifer Ocegueda @joceg002]

Many universities suspend male sports teams because they do not want to comply with Title IX. Others are budgeting but put this blame on Title IX. This can wrongfully create a public distaste for this law and female collegiate athletes. #ucr150 @besavageee

[Jennifer Ocegueda @joceg002]

@Malamillo150 @besavageee This creates immense pressure to perform well in sports at the expense of housing and tuition security. This will almost always cause decreased academic performance in order to prioritize their scholarship. Isn't the purpose of college to prioritize education? @besavageee #ucr150

[Jennifer Ocegueda @joceg002]

Pacific Islanders are so heavily scouted by colleges that this often limits these students in their academic success options. While it is great that this group is represented, exploitation and academic restrictions are significant issues. #EDUC150 @besavageee

[Jennifer Ocegueda @joceg002]

@BSanchez065 @besavageee Exactly, Brooklyn! There also are times in the season that are more physically strenuous, like hell week. During this time the football players are working much harder in the heat but are not given additional compensation for this time and effort.

[Jennifer Ocegueda @joceg002]

College athletes are only paid through their tuition & housing expenses.Their training alone takes up a large sum of their time. If they are struggling financially,it makes a job impossible to juggle,especially since their GPA's are already lower than average #ucr150 @besavageee

[Jennifer Ocegueda @joceg002]

@sandyespinozaa @besavageee I liked this article's attitude in calling out institutions that value money over their students. The way that schools attempt to avoid any type of controversy shows their complacency and how unaffected they are by these social issues. #EDUC150
