djvanness, 6 months ago to academicchatter Remember that nice thing I said about the University of #Wisconsin system Board of Regents? Well, I take it all back. After intense political pressure, including threats from billion (yes, with-a-b) dollar donors, the Regents caved in to Republican demands to roll back #DEI activities and positions in exchange for pay raises (and other investments). SHAME ON YOU, REGENTS. Your job is to protect the university, not to give in to hostage-takers. #highered @academicchatter https://www.channel3000.com/news/in-second-vote-uw-board-of-regents-approves-funding-dei-deal/article_431ce82e-9a0e-11ee-a38b-eb5521c5b321.html

djvanness, 6 months ago to academicchatter I've often been critical of university boards, but kudos to the University of #Wisconsin Board of Regents for courageously rejecting a deal with the right-wing #Republican WI legislature. The deal would have had #UWSystem capitulate to demands to cut #DEI activities in exchange for releasing already approved funds for pay raises. Republicans also demanded creation of a professorship in "conservative political thought." Yikes. #highered #academicfreedom @academicchatter https://www.channel3000.com/news/uw-regents-reject-deal-with-legislature-to-freeze-dei-positions-unlock-funding/article_ee2d96c6-96b4-11ee-ba43-37131614657c.html
