I've wanted to write something about academic accommodations for a while, and in the absence of other inspiration, I'm just going to put it here.
I have a few points to make but first a bit of context about me. I'm profoundly deaf in my right ear. Basically can't hear anything in it. 1/

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

We care how Liverpool do. Deeply. So do they. More than us, even if today didn't feel like it. But the spectre of grief casts a shadow. Come 6pm on Sunday 24th May, hopefully closure will have been attained. One full season.
