If we learned anything tonight it’s that VOTING MATTERS! Specifically thank you to the people of color in Alabama who made this victory possible.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Tonight, Alabama voters elected a senator who'll make them proud.

And if Democrats can win in Alabama, we can -- and must -- compete everywhere.

Onward!

Thread with tangible ideas on how to oppose the #GradStudentTax from a former lobbyist #MUEdLaw https://t.co/B5GuDneJ8p

[Chris Marsicano @ChrisMarsicano]

As y'all know, I study higher ed lobbyists and used to work for one. A friend asked how I would lobby against the Graduate School Tuition Waiver Tax if I were still in the game. I thought about it, and here’s how I would tell students to oppose the #GradStudentTax (Thread): 1/19

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

@BrianDuhLe @kathrynvetter1 @em_rene @NBCPhiladelphia No doubt that solid mentorship is also important for a strong, sustainable community. I just think that mentorship is generally happening and more concrete measures to curb high risk drinking need to be in place. #MUEdLaw

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

@BrianDuhLe @kathrynvetter1 @em_rene @NBCPhiladelphia Certainly, if someone wants to break the rules they will. However, high volume parties where it is difficult to regulate alcohol will be extremely difficult if the house is dry, and most of these deaths are happening at big events #MUEdLaw

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

@kathrynvetter1 @em_rene @NBCPhiladelphia I think a reasonable step would be making all fraternity houses dry. This is already a condition for most sorority houses, and I believe would have a higher impact on drinking behaviors. #MUEdLaw

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

@kathrynvetter1 @em_rene @NBCPhiladelphia I like the idea of publishing data, similar to Clery Act reporting. However, I believe most chapters have alumni advisors. While I love my role, it can’t fix everything. Sometimes, alumni are more invested in keeping old drinking traditions than the active members are. #MUEdLaw

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

@jorgejzuniga I believe collective bargaining would be helpful for GA’s as the tax bill puts us in a precarious place. Unionizing may help open communication with the university and/or help lobby against the tax bill #MUEdLaw

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

@AdamRossNelson @rtregler However, I just can’t imagine that would fly in our current political climate, so I question that reasoning too #MUEdLaw

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

@AdamRossNelson @rtregler but I would assume safety is a compelling state interest and providing security is legitimate given university’s liability #MUEdLaw

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

@AdamRossNelson @rtregler Well I’d imagine strict scrutiny because freedom of speech is an essential right... #MUEdLaw

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

@rtregler Is “we can’t afford it” a legitimate reason to not host a speaker? Will that hold up for free speech? #MUEdLaw

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

“Free speech has neither come free nor cheap on campuses this year” #MUEdLaw https://t.co/4ap0ejt0Ck

[CNN @CNN]

Universities are facing the rising security costs for controversial speakers https://t.co/ghVrHnVoyk

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

@em_rene @giulianascar Now that you bring it up, I remember seeing this! Very interesting... #MUEdLaw

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

@giulianascar Definitely! Article goes into detail how other schools are getting rid of full-time MBA programs, will be interesting to see if this lasts

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

Talking about this with @giulianascar during #MUEdLaw - UW Madison tried to phase out its full-time MBA program, but backlash kept it alive https://t.co/PB0HcH1zG8

[The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle]

A public M.B.A. helps future leaders who may not be able to afford “the Harvards of the world.” https://t.co/Wf6IhCTFbY

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

Thinking about yesterday’s #MuEdLaw writing tips, this thread has a ton of great suggestions for tackling large writing projects https://t.co/nZwn6TEyDl

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

Question for writers/academics: when working on long term writing projects how do you structure writing goals? Words per day? Time per day?

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

@kathrynvetter1 True, but would a school suspend a D1 team for high concussion rate? Doubtful, so what does that mean for risk management? #MUEdLaw

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

Seems to me doubts of online programs parallel the for profit school debate... questions over quality and regulation are valid #MUEdLaw

[Sarah Fandel @sarah_fandel]

Students litigate over poor quality of online degree program... quality standards for online programs are a must #MUEdLaw https://t.co/IrQbYYB3IP

[The Chronicle of Higher Education @chronicle]

Online classes are nothing new, but many colleges are still trying to get them right: https://t.co/Kh8Utfr4Ao
