This is both stupid and vile. Accommodations do not curve your grade to avoid reflecting a disability. Accommodations give people with disabilities the time they need to demonstrate that yes, they do in fact grasp the material.
What does Josh Barro think grades should measure?

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

First the Catholic bishops, and now a Baptist minister!? If this keeps up, I might start believing that Christian values exist!
From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Do you also sometimes wonder what kind of beauty and possibility our species could achieve if a handful of people didn't sponge up all the surplus we, together, create and spend it on generating "artificial intelligence" and running away, into space?

This perfectly encapsulates the difference between the real work of inclusion and engaging in histrionics about it
have you attempted to read his emails? Or make them accessible? Because I did. It was actually hell to try and do that because I had to manually type. Want to talk about ableism? Ableism is having so many typos that my Parkinson’s ass has to try and fix them to make it accessible to others
I think I legit spent over a half hour just trying to alt text a damn Jeffrey Epstein email.
Fuck me.

Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"
Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

New York Times social media guidelines prohibit expression suggesting partiality on things like ICE, execution of foreigners in fishing boats, or whether law is a thing.
However, tipping off notorious serial pedophiles about other reporters is absolutely fine.

He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.
Anyway, for what its worth...

I was in medical school then, having already earned a 3.97 GPA in biomedical engineering. And the president of freaking Harvard said people like me were not suited for science. He still had a high-powered, prestigious career after that but tell me again about how cancel culture ruins men’s lives.
One of my earliest moments of radicalization was in 2005 when Larry Summers said that women biologically have less aptitude for science than men. Following that, scores of equally unimpressive people wrote pieces trying to explain or justify his remarks, when they should have called for his removal.
