The statement from #UTexas#UTAustin board of the #TexasExes regarding their support of #Hartzell sounds pretty BS to me, but this is the establishment talking. Big money at alumni groups talks loudly.
We need to bring more attention to the university-specific #bds demands that the students of the #studentspring are making: companies invested, dollar amounts, research relationships, etc. So far, the divestment aspect seems to be lost, when it's actually the most important part.
@kat seriously it looks similar to the stacks at the old natural sciences library at #UTexas Main. They used to call it “the battleship,” and I am guessing the stacks are similar at other libraries.
“This offer letter ... really makes it clear that they don’t want me there,” McElroy said last week about the one-year contract. “But in no shape, form or fashion would I give up a tenured position at UT for a one-year contract that emphasizes that you can be let go at any point.” #TAMU#Utexas
Florida's policies are starting to drain the universities of talent. People don't want to work in a Republican environment of fear, hatred, and violence.
"...signs of an exodus are apparent.
"The Tampa Bay Times reviewed records showing an upward tick in staff departures at some of Florida’s largest universities."
@alexwild I'm afraid this will have an impact here as well, particularly at #UTexas, but also #TAMU, and even at smaller schools like an #MSU, where potential applicants might decide to teach at UW-River Falls over coming here.
