Here’s the UFS resolution laying out our endgame strategy for influencing the shape of the SFY27 Enacted Budget. It’s up to our members who decide to contact the Governor and their state legislators to decide which of our priorities to emphasize. hdl.handle.net/1951/88954

I resigned from the National Science Board in May when meaningful oversight became untenable. I respect colleagues who stayed to serve the NSB's mission. Today's news clarifies that was an erosion of oversight and function has become open elimination of the Board itself. 🧵 time.com/7285045/resi...

This is such an important initiative! I applaud the Association of Governing Boards of Colleges and Universities (AGB) for taking the lead on this crucial issue! agb.org/advocacy/hig...

Congratulations to the newly elected and re-elected officers and Executive Board members of @uupinfo.bsky.social . Looking forward to continuing our shared work of advancing a #PublicGoodU conception of SUNY’s mission, enabling statute, and service to our students, patients, regions, and state!

SUNY UFS and SUNY FCCC organized the Realizing the Promise of Public Good U barnstorming tour—7 regional convenings this academic year bringing workers together across roles, campuses, and sectors. One week ago, UFS passed this resolution calling on NYS to do the same! hdl.handle.net/1951/88954

Didn't bend, didn't cower, didn't even feel the need to stand next to Trump grinning awkwardly like it was normal. And now he's emerged unscathed with his job and his dignity intact and his reputation even stronger than before. Huh. Seems like this could be a model for others in power.

"Rebuilding public trust in higher ed and reclaiming its role as the 5th pillar of democracy goes beyond saying more positive things more frequently to more audiences. We need to work toward practicing radical localism and operational transparency," writes @michaelhgavin.bsky.social bit.ly/3OAu1sG

The last Realizing the Promise of Public Good U barnstorming tour stop of the academic year—here @sunycanton.bsky.social—is in the books! Wonderful conversations on shared governance, academic momentum, seamless transfer. It’s more important than ever that we meet across roles, campuses, & sectors!

Many thanks to Primus and Tool for helping me to get to Canton safely before 3:30 this morning. It was worth it just to see the last 6 minutes or so. Boston must feel like no lead is safe against the Sabres. Next step: not spotting them quite so many goals. Make this a #MADC metaphor if you like.

F&$@ it, I’m watching the first period. They’re playing “Money for Nothing”—how could I not? bsky.app/profile/suny...

Seriously considering watching the Sabres tonight to rev me up before driving to Canton. WNY to North Country after win or loss would keep me up, right?

Appreciate @sunyofficial.bsky.social and @sunychancellor.bsky.social John King’s support of, & advocacy for, undergraduate research! I’m glad UFS continued to do its part to make the Student Undergraduate Research Conference a thing. Happy to return to my home campus @fredoniau.bsky.social for it!

If you’ve read the thread posted by palantir on X and are shocked, please read this piece that @tlecaque.bsky.social and I wrote 9 months ago. Palantir has not been shy about its fascist agenda, and neither has Karp, who has been rambling about Western Supremacy in text & video form for a while now

"the colleges that dominate the headlines are not the colleges that most Americans attend their core mission: to serve students from all backgrounds, at a price families can actually afford, prepare graduates for real careers and meaningful lives." www.geneseo.edu/enrollment-m...

"The University of California system, the California State system, the City University of New York — these are the institutions actually educating America’s workforce, actually moving first-generation students into the middle class, actually delivering on higher education’s democratic promise."

Getting ready for our Executive Committee meeting at noon and our sectors meetings after dinner. Feeling very grateful to everyone working so hard to pull this massive event off, starting with the UFS assistant, Jennifer Redinger!

he’s not as visible as most of the folks in the administration but after stephen miller vought is probably the most evil of the lot he is ideologically committed to destroying the entire concept of the public good

Important questions! No easy answers. Our job is to protect Public Good U against—and against becoming—Police U, Grift U, Vichy U. Let’s discuss what “AI for the Public Good” should be. We know of folks in NY, CA, MI, NC doing this. We’re putting together a #PublicGoodU webinar series. You in?

Many of the criticisms in this report are true or partially true, but the biggest problem that's brought down U.S. colleges is indeed the 50-year crusade by the right to wipe away any notion that higher ed is a public good, massively cut funding for publics, and create the student debt crisis

Publication Alert! I predict this Student Life green paper will go even bigger than the Ethics Committee’s excellent white paper on faculty/staff burnout and morale (which recently became our 2nd-most-viewed document in our digital repository). hdl.handle.net/1951/88947

The interview was good on explaining basic concepts, quelling panic, and myth-busting. Its focus on the last several years was the interviewer’s choice, and the interviewee played nice. There’s only so much that can be said in six minutes. Here’s what was left out.

It should go without saying, today and every day, that “Never Again” means never again to anyone, never again by anyone. If only the Shoah were unique; if only we recognized the singularity of every genocide. 1/
