It's a shame the university chooses not to communicate details about Poe Hall with its students, staff, and faculty. We have to learn about what we've been exposed to from the news. Much appreciation for the work of @keelyarthur50YS @WRAL wral.com/story/inside-poe-ha…
I'm done with this place and headed to where the skies are blue @higheredmoney.bsky.social
Making the move to mastodon @edumasto.org server. My handle is @umbach.

News You Can Use: #FairPay Why Black Professors and Other Faculty of Color Are Leaving NC State indyweek.com/news/wake/ncsu-…
What a great decision by @UofMaryland! @doctorkag is an incredible scholar and leader and will be a great dean of @UMDCollegeofEd! As an alum of the College, I am pleased it's in such great hands.
We're excited to announce the new dean of @UMDCollegeofEd: Dr. Kimberly Griffin! Dr. Griffin will guide the college in the next stage of its development, cultivating excellence and shaping the changing landscape of education in the classroom and beyond: go.umd.edu/ckE

I am so excited for the next chapter @montanastate. From preparing teachers to preventing running injuries, @MSU_EHHD enhances learning through reflective experience and I have the opportunity to lead this awesome college as their Dean!

Excited to be a 2022 Visiting Fellow at @uniofjyvaskyla's Finnish Institute for Educational Research. Spending some time in Finland to examine the long-term effects of university mergers. Thanks to collaborators @charles_mathies and Jussi Välimaa for their support.

My colleagues & I are interested in learning about the experiences of graduate student mothers in North Carolina during the COVID-19 pandemic. We would love your help connecting us with NC scholar moms! Thanks in advance. @chezece @KaitNewhouse
Took a 6-week twitter break, and I'm not even sure where to begin. Let's just say I'm feeling much more hopeful than I was 6 weeks ago.

@AshCademic & @HigherEdMoney investigate NC's College Application Week (CAW) which allowed students to apply to colleges with no application fees. Find out the # of applications colleges received and # of low-income students who matriculated during CAW. muse.jhu.edu/article/766476
Inspirational! @ChrisNikic is attempting to become the first person with Down syndrome to finish an Ironman. He's on the marathon leg right now.
.@ChrisNikic is a little over five miles into the run. The pace is good. One foot in front of the other!
If you’re just joining us, Chris is attempting to become the first person with Down syndrome to finish an IRONMAN. #onepercentbetter #inclusion #IMFL
Went to my Dr., whose office is near my University, for annual checkup, & she said "we were overrun with positive student COVID cases this fall. You should not teach in person." Already planning remote teaching but continue to be concerned for students & colleagues.

insidehighered.com/news/2020… The WH order is flat-out an illegal assault on academic freedom, and any feckless college that bails because of this misguided, inexpert racism, should be ashamed. College should sue, not retreat. A month from now, it will be moot anyway. Cowardly colleges
