Disappointing decision by the Purdue faculty senate not to follow the lead of many other universities on #ClimateAction wbaa.org/science-and-en…

Some of the Purdue faculty (including me) have thoughts about the new gas-fired cogeneration facility on campus. My bottom line: the university needs to have concrete, transparent plans for how it will wean itself off fossil fuels. purdueexponent.org/campus/article… via Purdue Exponent

Couldn't go to a more deserving "fellow" (pardon the pun)!

Fact: Staunch American Christian & GOP hostility to abortion is fairly recent & arbitrary. What changed? Follow the money that follows the politics of morality that mobilizes voters, as CASBS fellow @AnnaGBusse explains in this sharp piece San Francisco Chronicle bit.ly/3N1Vay0

Faculty members should demand that their institutions observe established norms of shared governance by involving faculty in all stages of the search process & by providing faculty & other members of the campus community the opportunity to meet with finalists in public on campus.

“This was a chance for Purdue to do shared governance right. But the Board keeps showing us...they’re not interested in engaging in the shared responsibility for the university’s welfare between the Board, the President and the Faculty.” -former WL chapter president Dr. Alice Pawley

Important perspective, h/t Daniel Kelly

Forced birth in a country with: —No universal healthcare —No universal childcare —No paid family & medical leave —One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations This isn't about "life." It's about control.

Reminder: the Clean Air Act is one of the most successful pieces of legislation ever passed, in any country. Every year in the US it generates net economic benefits of $3.8 trillion (32X its costs) & averts 370,000 premature deaths. nrdc.org/resources/clea…
