It appears that my employer, Dartmouth, one of the Trump 9, has said no to the compact. All the better given that our president is cited within it. But she’s saying no. Count the small victories when they come.

Office of the President
Dear Dartmouth community,

As many of you know, Dartmouth was one of nine universities asked by the White House to give feedback by Oct. 20 on a draft of its “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.”

I am deeply committed to Dartmouth’s academic mission and values and will always defend our fierce independence.

You have often heard me say that higher education is not perfect and that we can do better. At the same time, we will never compromise our academic freedom and our ability to govern ourselves.

Best,
Sian Leah Beilock
President

Pro tip: make a QR code for your guest password and print it on a laminated card that you can hang somewhere. This way, no awkward “what is your wifi”nonsense.

Yes, Apple has password sharing but this way they don’t need to even search for the SID and it works on Android too.

Yet we have people here in Australia who want to emulate what America is doing. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. We must ensure that Trumpism has no chance here, ever. Dutton wanted to do it, Nampijimpa-Price wants to do it. Keep the LNP out of government. #auspol

You're probably taking about Fraser-Pryce. I've seen that video! 😂😂

I'm taking about the US anchor Sha'carri Richardson...

😂😂😂

Fraser-Pryce led off the Jamaican team very creditably!

Almost all the Jamaican women's 4x1 baton exchanges were too conservative - presumably because of the rain... but it's always a joy to watch Sha'carri run away to the front regardless of where she got the stick!
