With affirmative action off the table, what will rejected applicants and their families point to as the new reason for why they were denied admissions to their dream school?
What a shameful ruling.
Not only did this case stem from something that didn't happen (the plaintiff fabricated a couple), but to allow businesses to so plainly discriminate against LGBTQ people is to undermine the very principles that our civil rights legislation is based upon.

@striginechemist Extremely casual except at poster sessions (and then you can put on a business casual outfit). But then again I am fully on the ‘academics aren’t suits’ train.
Hey @UWArtSci leadership, we’re here & we'll be staying until you contact @amcauce and tell her she needs to negotiate a FAIR CONTRACT with postdocs TODAY.
We have kazoos.
Our federal funding landscape has been broken for a long time due to bipartisan support of science. PDs can’t keep shouldering the cost if we can’t make ends meet and pay our bills.
Wow. Dr. Tara Schwetz, co-chair of the @NIH Postdoc Working Group and Acting Principal Deputy Director of NIH, opened the session talking about how the perceived decline in postdocs is like a symptom of the overall health of the scientific enterprise.
Look at our power!!! Our strength in numbers will prevail over any attempts by UW Admin to isolate and threaten us. An injury to one, is an injury to all!
