Don't take a second helping of data when you haven't finished what's already on your plate.

The front page of tomorrow's The Daily Tar Heel – I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours. Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

Just stumbled upon my Dean and a department chair, casually exchanging stories about the first theory that blew their mind once they understood it, as opposed to just reciting it. It’s the best endorsement of a liberal arts education ever.

I’m at a STEM conference and this morning’s session has seven panelists. Only one is a while male. So it can be done, y’all.

Best advice from the panel: keep your students paid and keep them insured, because they eat and they get sick. Note we are talking about assessment. You can’t learn-much less perform-if you are sick or hungry. This is what “student first” really means.

The purpose of liberal arts education is not to build your career. It’s to broaden your mind. You don’t have to justify a major based on job prospects. The only explanation necessary is “it interests me.” The true value of college is improving your ability to think and learn.

What’s important to know about the efforts to take down university presidents is that the gentile right wingers involved see this as a point of entry to dismantle DEI initiatives.

Apolitical is just a different kind of politics. The history of higher ed also tells us that none of what we are dealing with now is actually new. It’s just the latest buzzwords and right-wing talking points, all code for upholding white supremacy.

Shh, don’t tell anyone but Blake Elliot 🚓 took the kiddos to see #PoorThings and between relatives visiting and everything, it’s the first time since 12/19 that I have been anywhere but the shower by myself. It’s me and the dog alone in the house and I am happy.

While no one owes Harvard pity, we’d be remiss to not see this as an attack on higher ed, like ones in states like Florida and South Dakota (and and and…), laying the groundwork for ongoing dismantling higher ed — especially public higher ed, where states hold the purse strings.

Worth every minute of your time.

Proud to be here talking about Harvey Mudd College and the work we do on workload and wellness. Thank you to @doctorkag Sherilynn Black PhD and Dr. Anita Corbett- (She/her) 🏳️‍🌈 for inviting me. We are an hour in and I have pages of notes already!!!
