Using a large census survey, we found students are absent ~1 day more when they lack healthcare! #educationpolicy is #healthpolicy #absenteeism #attendance

Now published in the Journal of School Health, @wcastillophd.bsky.social and I drew upon national survey data to look at the relationship between missing healthcare when needed and student attendance.

In 'My path from traditional to critical quantitative methods: integrating racial equity frameworks in quantitative research' I reflect and critique my prior research.

I'm excited to uplift new frameworks and methodologies: CritSEM, CRMM, and JAV

We definitely need a 4 day workweek. Adulting takes a whole day 😀 Gym, doctors appointments, dentists, bills, backlog of emails

Today, eight selective colleges, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Johns Hopkins University, and Vanderbilt University announced they will accept these “civility transcripts” among the factors they weigh in college-admissions decisions.

Colleges Will Give a Leg Up to Students Who Demonstrate Civility

A new program allows students to build a "civility transcript" for college through peer debates.

"The dominant discourses at this moment suggest that white, straight, cisgender voices are free to speak, and the voices of marginalized people should be constrained by civility and sensitivity. We should reject this discourse" [email protected]

www.insidehighered.com/advice/2018/...

Colleges and politicians promote free speech for some but insist on civility for others (opinion)

Some views are allowed to go unchallenged in higher education today, writes Kamden K. Strunk, while those from marginalized groups are told to be polite.

The quotes from the UNC spokesperson do not provide any confidence that this will be resolved smoothly. If I'm remembering correctly, their raises take effect in July meaning delaying this vote actually messes with faculty pay. You don't do that *accidentally* cause you're *super busy*.

Robert Kelchen @robertkelchen.com · May 28

This is the first media coverage that I have seen of the UNC board's quiet decision to largely pause granting tenure outside of the health sciences. This is worth watching over the coming weeks.

At Chapel Hill, Only Health-Sciences Professors Have Been Getting Tenure

The UNC Chapel Hill board hasn’t tenured a single professor in fields outside the health sciences since January. The inaction has prompted confusion and alarm among faculty.

They’re basically just trying to kill off US higher education as an industry at this point. Even a delay will pose a critical decision for thousands of prospective students whose futures are now in the air.

Proposed cuts to #Medicaid could worsen chronic absenteeism (missing 10% or more school days). Learn more in this brief from @wcastillophd.bsky.social & @jeremylsinger.bsky.social where they explain why healthcare access is key to students' ability to stay in school.
