I wonder if admin are proud of being on the front page of NYT right now or if they're like, "but not like that"

Seriously, I am not sure.

I guess where I land is I hope these protesters embarrass the shit out of the administration, which has handled things truly in league with the very worst of the campus administrations' responses; and also good on the protesters for getting NYT to go against its style guide and accidentally publish the word "genocide"?

In re the latter, here is an @theintercept story about a leaked NYT memo dictating style, which "instructed journalists covering Israel’s war on the Strip to restrict the use of the terms “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” and to “avoid” using the phrase “occupied territory” when describing Palestinian land"

@inquiline
USC thinks they're clever with the surveillance, but I just see one more camera feed that the protesters can use to proselytize the Gospel of Bonk

To be clear, students are holding the line; I just helm listservs and occasionally yell at administrators

@inquiline
I count that as diversity of tactics. Behind every good student is a teacher throwing down against an administrator.

@CedarTea Thanks. Yeah. A postdoc on here said even if fac are disorganized, disagreeable, and largely cowardly (which we certainly are), standing btwn students and admin is something we can try to do
