“We treat students, faculty and staff of all backgrounds with dignity. Different experiences and perspectives in our community matter, so we check in regularly, seeking input from all. We blend classroom rigor with meaningful out-of-class support in ways that have helped to make UT a national model.”
Empty words apparently, and referenced in an email I (an alum) sent protesting police presence and actions on campus.
Last week's @RATPAC#emcomm panel had several memorable quotes that I really hope we follow up on.
The one about professional emergency services people avoiding #hamradio people and actively discouraging incorporation of hams into plans was hard to hear.
There was a strong consensus that the way forward was "more training" and "appear professional". A quote was "don't show up (to volunteer) dressed like you live under a bridge".
“From search and rescue perspective, any operative would jump to faster, dulplex-er, instant high bandwidth solution in a heartbeat. Emcomm/prepper type would not since the main purpose is not to solve the problem but solving the problem with specific tool that is emotionally being invested in.”
