hey--if you work in Higher Ed--
This is the first year of my first time serving as an officer for my union NEIUPI.
I get a lot of emails with info to read and think about and comment on and vote on, and most of my favorite details are the skittery meta-information kind of things I glean from meetings (a way someone has of talking kindly and intelligently right off the cuff, how nearly everyone is in affordable gymshoes, the eccentrics that wind up in these spaces, the brilliant thinkers who believe for real in ethics who wind up in these spaces . . .). But anyway, my Local recently sent out a set of NYT editorials on Higher Ed at this moment:
ew! The "Don't Fool Yourself" piece has some VERY bad claims, fyi
ReplyDelete"The View Inside" piece is good, clear-headed
ReplyDelete"The Authoritarian Endgame" piece is whatever
ReplyDeleteIn the three-person conversation one, Gessen and Cottom say some good stuff
ReplyDeleteTHIS piece--sent by my Chair--is MUCH more relevant to the kinds of places many of us work at: https://www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/online-only/memos-of-blood-and-fire/
