People who think removing DEI in universities leads to meritocracies, are too stupid to get into universities on the merits.

News round up for CNY, and what NYS legislature has been up to over the last two weeks. Gonna try to get one out bi-weekly. This week feels like it’s been forever and affects CNY in So many ways.
We must hold our reps accountable to the job we are paying them to do.

One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.
