I learned yesterday that most people don’t know that CUNY is migrating to Workday for financial and HR operations, so sharing it here. Full university cutover: 1/1/2027. RF is going live in Workday on its own on 1/1/2026.

Good luck to us all.

Necessary, direct from @jamellebouie.net.

Elite bandwagon circling around this guy is grounded in his “debates” on campuses. But that wasn’t engagement. It was performance & dissembling, attempts to dominate not to convince or learn. They point more to the poverty of our politics than its ideals.

For those who heard the strikeout whistle when Donald Trump was shown on the video screen at Yankee stadium last night, I’m told it was played accidentally. I was told the technician meant to click on “Hail To The Chief” but pressed the whistle by mistake.
