Cost #216 of larger #HigherEd class size:

Reduced ability to give student-specific feedback

This one makes me sad because we know that feedback is one of the most important contributors to learning.

A reminder to university administrators and boards of governors that the administrative functioning of a university depends on voluntary academic participation. Treat your faculty like cattle, especially during contract negotiations, and you may find the administrative gears moving very slowly.

Me: #HigherEd needs a new framework for evaluating success. Current methods are biased. #Equity #Excellence

Them: 'Okay, Jacobs, what do you propose then?'

Me: start here 👇 then modify as needed

🚨WARNING: The same day Melania’s documentary was released, DOJ released emails between Melania & Ghislaine Maxwell—where they referred to each other with words like “love“ & “sweet pea.”
💌 WTF was going on?
😳

⏳Bondi dropping these the exact same day of Melania’s movie release is not a coincidence.🔥

I’m not sure how much notice this has received but the Assembly of First Nations in Canada has issued a travel advisory for the United States after reports that Indigenous people are being increasingly questioned and detained by ICE. www.instagram.com/p/DT-_SacDEH...
An Instagram post from the Assembly of First Nations reading: Important Travel Advisory The Assembly of First Nations (AFN) has heard reports that some First Nation citizens have been subjected to increased questioning and detainment by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The AFN strongly condemns these actions and reaffirms First Nations’ inherent and Jay Treaty rights to cross-border mobility. The AFN advises any First Nations members traveling to the U.S. to carry valid identification, including a Status Card or a Canadian passport. Anyone requiring assistance with Status Card applications, renewals, replacements, or urgent processing related to travel may contact Indigenous Services Canada’s Secure Certificate of Indian Status (SCIS) Program at 1-800-567-9604 or visit www.canada.ca/indigenous-services-canada. Please note that federal law enforcement may not be familiar with Tribal IDs. If an ICE agent does not accept your Tribal ID as identification, the Native American Rights Fund recommends that you request to speak to their supervisor. In emergency cases, Canadian citizens in the U.S. can contact the Canadian Consulate for assistance through 1-613-996-8885.
