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!

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

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

NC State AAUP chapter explains its grave concerns about plans at that campus, saying they were made without serious input from faculty.
Three NC colleges topped 1,000 COVID-19 cases this fall. What are their spring plans? charlotteobserver.com/news/l…

Great article by @KateMurphyNews about spring plans at NC State, UNC, and ECU. It includes a nice description of our concerns about NC State's spring semester plans.
UNC, NC State and ECU had to quickly pivot to close dorms and send all classes online this fall. @KateMurphyNews reports on how they hope things will be different for the spring semester. newsobserver.com/news/local/…

I applied to college, because I wanted to be a #Hokie like my dad! Going to @virginia_tech was one of the best decisions/experiences of my life. As a @VT_alumni, I’ve had doors open that I never could’ve imagined!

By my COVID-19 cluster count:
* Since mid-Aug, 59 clusters reported at 7 N.C. universities (all UNC system schools)
* State has the most (almost half)
* Almost half are in dorms
* Thursday was the most in one day (11)

As soon as UNC announced in May that it would reopen in the fall, I texted a few people “I have a hunch.” So I filed a public records request and a few months later I read over 1,300 of Chancellor Guskiewicz’s emails
Documents obtained by The Daily Tar Heel show that before UNC announced its reopening plan, the administration received early warning messages from top medical professionals at the University predicting outbreaks of COVID-19 on campus.

Well, this has certainly been a mess. What is public opinion of higher ed going to look like on the other side of this...

A group of UNC System campus employees, including housekeepers and professors, filed a lawsuit against the system Monday. They say universities don’t provide a safe working environment during the coronavirus pandemic. newsobserver.com/news/local/…
