I just wrote a long thread about being treated as unreliable in the professional sphere; this describes the horrific way victims are discredited and dismissed in campus rape. Very different subjects/seriousness, but it's the same problem of not being treated as credible/ competent when you speak up.

Part of fighting back is being both intentional, accurate, and forceful with our language. So anti-woke, anti-DEI efforts and activists? Especially when those efforts result in demonstrably lower numbers of qualified Black people the ranks? Start calling these folks pro-segregation.

I was in a workshop last week where, with a straight face, the speaker put up a slide listing all the recent “innovations” that were supposed to revolutionize edu and said, “AI will be different! This time, it will work!” My eyes almost rolled out of my head.

"The list names an Army officer who traveled to 14 historically Black colleges to expand recruitment" Since these people are literally using "woke" to mean "entertained the thought of hiring a Black person," opposition to DEI, affirmative action, etc. should be understood as support for segregation

What does it mean to write a book as a contingent scholar? It means to do something that's already hard enough on its own, but also to do it without the (admittedly eroding) supports of full-time tenure-track employment--time, funding, library access, and a steady job. Recognize this work. 🗃️

There are a lot of problems that beset academia. This 👇 is one of the worst. How can we defend ourselves from the Rufos and DeSantises of the world when many of us can't even respect our colleagues enough to help equitably distribute labor?

It’s not a financial issue, it’s a political issue. States are defunding their publics. Until we grasp that turning public universities into high level vocational schools is the desired outcome, we are missing the point. The answers are political.
