I’m 2/2 today on boarding @united flights, only to be required to deboard because the plane is malfunctioning. #fleetfailure #delayday

[Luke Anthony Peña @lukepena]

A few lingering questions about ensuring equitable access and administering evaluator bias training, but any #college #admissions innovation that gives applicants more optionality for showcasing their diverse strengths is a welcome one. #highereducation

If your business model depends on paying people below-market wages and then depending on them to work beyond their scheduled hours without paying overtime, it might be time to rethink the business model. #highereducation #goodwork #compensation

If we want U.S. #college #tuition to cost what it does in other highly educated nations -- & thus reduce inequities in U.S. college wealth premiums -- we might start by restoring the level of federal/state funding seen in other countries. #highereducation https://t.co/kFK08wH67s

This debate comes at the exact moment when #college #admissions #essays are poised to play a larger role in efforts to enroll racially diverse classes. Bless all those this fall who have to write them, and to read them. #highered https://t.co/t3so6pP2OS

My work recruiting high-potential early career professionals has given me immense faith in our newest entrants to the #laborforce, but there’s no denying that the lingering effects of the pandemic are evident. #goodwork #futureofwork

This is the perils of a 2-party system, cunning #political strategy, fallibility of human heuristics, & info echo chambers all rolled into one, but I still believe in a rising group of #leaders who promote constructive #debate over polarizing division. https://t.co/XRzUh6MyJA

#Goodwork is an important part — one of many— of a life well lived. https://t.co/o37W6a2p3o

Good #leadership insights: some failures are experiments, other failures are mistakes. "A #failure, even an intelligent failure, in new territory, new discovery, is no longer intelligent the second time it happens." https://t.co/kiZChymooP

This lands on me as pretty remarkable - the executive branch providing an entire sector with direct guidance on how best to navigate a thorny ruling by the legislative branch. #highereducation #admissions #affirmativeaction https://t.co/ohVG9mY8vS

[Luke Anthony Peña @lukepena]

Overturning #affirmativeaction was never going to make the #highereducation #admissions process LESS subjective. https://t.co/8PoaP3GaiH

Bravo, @SarahLawrence. #highereducation #admissions #affirmativeaction https://t.co/RRfmzkjCtC

When there is a will, there is a way. "School officials say they remain committed to enrolling a diverse class of students, even if the tools they can use have changed." #highereducation #admissions #affirmativeaction https://t.co/EA3n5GIjrP

@united I am never going to get home, am I? #26hourdelayandcounting

[Luke Anthony Peña @lukepena]

Using my extra time in the airport, I made a lovely collage from the last 10 days that I flew @united. Not included: images from when my baggage was lost for days, or when my flight was delayed for hours with no text notification. #10days10mishaps

[Luke Anthony Peña @lukepena]

Just one hour after my initial tweet, this happened. Coincidence or karma…? @united

[Luke Anthony Peña @lukepena]

Transparency... if you're using #artificialintelligence #AI to make human selection decisions, be transparent to those humans about how you use it, and encourage them to decide if they want to apply to you or apply elsewhere. #highereducation #admissions https://t.co/dofM3tfksf

[Luke Anthony Peña @lukepena]

Translation: people are frustrated with a path they often see as the only option - and this is unlikely to change until the job market increasingly rewards credentials beyond a college degree. https://t.co/ela36D8EFK

[Luke Anthony Peña @lukepena]

@united I will share with the Customer Care team.

[Luke Anthony Peña @lukepena]

Another sobering account of how privilege impacts every component of #highereducation #admissions, and how (absent more systemic change) colleges will need to use different tools to address it. #affirmativeaction https://t.co/zNLVmK1MWU
