With friends who live both sides of this conflict + as someone who knows a bit of the history, this has reminded me that we're capable of nuance and it's imperative that we do hold what seems at odds, so we continue to extend care to all.

ICYMI: Last night, the Texas House gave initial approval to Senate Bill 17, which would ban diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) offices at Texas public colleges and universities.

Here are my five main takeaways from the debate, which lasted hours: #txlege

We have to move fast!
 
As early as May 1, the House Higher Education Committee will begin hearing SB 18 to eliminate #tenure , SB 17 to ban #DEI programs, and SB 16 to limit #academicfreedom , now that the Senate has passed them. Legislative session ends May 29. 🧵

#SB17 , if it passes, is going to ruin the infrastructure of Texas institution. From Living Learning Communities to research labs to admissions to grant funds. Folks have to realize it's more than just DEI offices, it'll chill ALL of campus programming and functions.

Please share: We’re reaching out to companies doing business in TX to contact Legislators this week concerning SB16 to chill #academicfreedom , SB18 to eliminate #tenure , and SB 17 to ban #DEI practices at public colleges & universities. #txlege 🧵1/

The Texas Senate will vote on SB 17 (defunding #DEI ) tomorrow. SB 18 (halting #tenure ) is probably up on Thursday. There’s still time to contact your state Senator! Phone calls and emails (from a private account) are both effective. Thank you! 🙏 #txlege

My email inbox is a trash fire of regrets and existential despair, of voices screaming into the abyss, unheard. If I haven’t responded to you in eight or more months, please forgive me. It’s not you. It’s me. It’s life.
