Meeting with #NikoleHannahJones for an interview this week made me reflect on my June interview with Walter Hussman, the conservative Arkansas media magnate and #UNC megadonor who lobbied against hiring her.
It's worth talking a bit about these two people and interviews.
This week, we planned to finish our fundraising campaign to support students impacted by COVID-19. However, in respect to the national conversation on racial equity, we're pausing our fundraising to amplify these organizations who are doing critical work on equity & justice:
Today, we make the commitment to actively stand up against anti-Blackness and racism by examining how we, as an organization, can use our time, resources & social power to fight against injustice. We hope you stand in solidarity with us. #BlackLivesMatter

@_deandrecarter I had the amazing pleasure of meeting your colleague Jodi Hancock and she turned me on to your SOS (shame over success/success over shame) advice. I am in love with it!! Such an amazing piece of advice.
@BeckerLabUSC Right? It’s so second nature for us to say “I’m sure this is review” when a simple change of words can really help affirm and impact our most vulnerable students!
Dr. Lisa Nunn’s research on sense of belonging & strategies in helping students is fascinating. Instead of saying “I know this is review for most of us” try saying “I know for some of us this is brand new.” Affirm the students who don’t know rather than those who do #uscfirstgen
Free community college is the cornerstone of a zero-debt, higher education system that lets our students focus on earning their degrees and stop worrying about how to pay the rent. We’re going to build that system right here in #CA with #AB2. 🎓 https://t.co/23ikAdrM0A
