Metalsmithing Curatorial Seminar Paleobiology Pre-Colonial American History Women in Art

I used to teach the one week we could cram into principal prep on school safety. I don't know how you prepare people for this kind of thing.

So relatable lately

Today, staff disappeared off websites. Apparently, they were given an hour to leave and immediately lost access to email and everything else. WTF.

Termination Letters Confirm Full Academic Year for Faculty and Protect Students from Mid-Term Disruptions - The Bugeater share.google/RMGIuMXXdiJH...

Back to your regularly scheduled feed of national horrors

Also don't pretend you empathize with us when you have been needlessly cruel throughout this absolutely surreal experience in which I learned that my humble little department is among the best in the nation and my colleagues are in the top of the field.

And from the letter to campus "Program eliminations forever change a university, and we recognize the significant impact on those directly affected, as we empathize with our colleagues and friends." Yes, it does forever change a university when you cut important departments

You also have re-employment and reinstatement rights. Please contact Chris Marks, Associate Vice Chancellor for Faculty Affairs, with any questions. Strange, because he already told me there is no process to rehouse us but we might be able to stay on at lower ranks to complete the teach out

"I want to emphasize that this decision is not a reflection of your performance. You have made significant contributions to the University, and we are truly grateful." If you were grateful for the redesigned EdD program, which I led pre-tenure, maybe you wouldn't have killed it. Or fired me

It's hard to know where to start with my termination letter and the notice sent to campus today "As a result of this action, your employment with the University of Nebraska will terminate, including all rights associated with being a tenured faculty member."

It's not just in urban districts. I've seen this in rural districts too. And I've recently been told by my colleagues reading books isn't science of reading and by a school psych that there's no such thing as word readers who are fluent with no comprehension. Any yet

Not going to lie but having an actual break on my now virtual campus visit is amazing. I cannot believe we routinely do this to each other. 10-13 hours of talking. We know most of us are introverts, right?

I guess they don't really care if they remove you and then you sue or if you sue and then they replace you

Glad they fired the department with equity on their T-shirts right in time for Trump to me like meh. Cool, thanks, I hate it

When your uni system president has neither read the Odessey nor The Strange Case of SE. Jekyll and Mr Hyde... thebugeater.com/uncategorize...

Normally, I would be in favor of an independently elected Board, but watching Spanberger clean house at UVA makes me a little jealous.

Source: KETV search.app/SfCHh All the research says this is a bad idea. I also heard in MS this week that the score to not repeat 3rd grade is no where near proficiency. If it was, they would be retaining like 65% of kids

In better Friday afternoon news. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

A day in the life: BOR meeting, ask where $800 mill is coming from when they can't find $7 mill. Work on job talk. Eat lunch, chat with student, collect cardboard coffin from car, get another coffee, help set up AAUP table. Ask interim Chancellor how she's going to prevent this from happening again

UNL faculty, staff, and students, turned out to tell the interim Chancellor and the system President they have not been acting in good faith

I went to BOR today to ask where $800 million was coming from when there wasn't $7 million to support four departments. I got a lot of good jobs from faculty at UNMC and Clarkson University.

This morning, I read Bennett's separation agreement. Based on the timeline, this was in the works before he hung four departments out to dry at the BOR meeting bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/journalstar....

What the actual... Faculty in eliminated departments aren't getting a full academic year and he's getting 1.1 million?

The social media responses are on point

I think the press wanted me to say we were happy with today's news. But it doesn't solve the problem, it merely deflects attention from where the real issues lay

As late birthday presents go, I'll take it. But it's clear he's just being used to deflect from the problems with the BOR and the President.

How to put women back in the kitchen in one easy step.

Going into 2026 and 44 like Pumpkin, zero f's given

I literally only agreed to go on a date with my now husband because the campaign manager who I was making called with called him hot Kevin and vouched for his politics. Also he had a cute cat 🤷🏻‍♀️

Waiting for the end of 2025

I have taught aspiring principals and superintendents for the past 9 years. I have four years of classroom experience and completed the principal coursework in NYS... To be an admin in Nebraska, I would have to teach for two years, take 6 credits at exactly the right time. Fun

🤷🏻‍♀️

The lack of empirical evidence in the “anti-conservative bias in higher education” panic is really striking. We’ve had more than a decade of elite consternation about this so-called crisis based on a handful of anecdotes.

thebugeater.com/budget/cassa... I wrote a thing

Yes

I genuinely do not know how I am supposed to walk across the stage at graduation today with our lying admin on it and at least one Regent who voted to cut my program

The cruelty is the point. To these educators, to these kids and families

Of course. Cruelty is the point, whether it is punishing our professors or the poor.

I guess the liability insurance really has gone up. I am currently locked out of Canvas until I complete the Title IX training that faculty Senate Exec repeatedly told them is inappropriate. Opt out forms take 3 days to process. What even are grades, I guess?

I cannot believe they aren't giving us a full academic year to find new jobs. And they expect us to do 256 teach out plans. Every day, fresh new hell
