Rereading some passages this morning in preparation for our School’s book club meeting today, which is reading @drkevinrmcclure.com’s _The Caring University_. I know I’m late to the party on this but wow what a read it’s been so far!

First day of school means a bunch of cross-institution emails flying and I have a small fascination with how campus IT departments deal with phishing. Mine (top image) is simple but we get fake emails from the university to “test” us. Meanwhile just saw the one at the bottom and it feels like ALOT 😳

Feels like the next phase of the anti-equity project: pointing out institutions who’ve not curtailed the work “enough” and should be forced to go further. Much of this shouldn’t hold up in courts, but the (further) chilling effect this will have is the bigger point.

Week 2 of Higher Education Finance and 30 minutes before class, I drafted some new (imperfect) slides of translating current events to our course content.
It’s gonna be…something…this semester but really glad to be thinking alongside incredibly thoughtful, sharp students through all of this.

I am excited to share my latest article from RHE: "Transgender Men and Non-Binary Students Managing Their Identities to Pay for College." I analyzed four years' worth of data from my longtudinal study of transgender college students for this paper. lnkd.in/gjx6ZpzJ
