Everyone employee deserves to work in a non-toxic respectful environment where they’re paid enough to enjoy their lives. That shouldn’t be a “perk” of a good company.

Dr. Hagopian was kind enough to sit down and talk with me for almost an hour about this. You may find it interesting bsky.app/profile/trau...

Higher Ed in 2025 is opening your mailbox to see that your institution has sent you: 1. A Center for Teaching and Learning call to integrate AI into your classroom; and 2. An Office of Academic Integrity email encouraging you to crack down on students who use AI to cheat.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

There's a place for feel-good events (including protests) that bring people to the cause. But there's ALSO a place for protests that disrupt and shut stuff down, AND a place for protests that are destructive or frightening. All are valid. All are useful. Even if they make you feel uncomfortable.
