Anyone have a list of universities that now ask in faculty hires some version of:

"Have you ever been found responsible for sexual misconduct by a uni or professional association; are you currently under investigation; or have you left a job while under investigation?"

...or any articles about this practice?

I'm asking bc my department is hiring and our university won't let us ask this, and we'd like context as we argue with them about it

@wrigleyfield @academicchatter our uni requires a police check to complete the hiring process, it's not nothing, but it wouldn't catch someone who wasn't actually convicted of assault.

This is the last day of my Twitter account. I have over 52K followers there, but I can't remain on a platform that pays people like Andrew Tate to post. I do this knowing it significant limits my reach in the academic community, but the standard you walk past is the one you accept.

Has anyone else (re)turned to since the of social media began? The level of control over my feeds and the absence of algorithms (mostly speaking...) has been a breath of fresh air.

Especially interested in how fellow , , and other are using RSS. What feeds are you subscribed to and what readers are you using? @histodons @academicchatter

I'm using Feedly purely because I had a very old account gathering dust but I'm not super keen on its slant towards business users and its AI push. As for feeds, I've got two groups - one for general blogs and sites (e.g. @thesiswhisperer) and one for and journals.

Just posted this on the bird site - what is the last straw people need to leave twitter completely? I found my limit. I'm leaving.

For me, paying nazi, misogynistic 'influencers' is too far. I've long been passive on Twitter, but used it to distribute content. I can't do it anymore. The values conflict is too much.

I'd love it if some academics took a stand with me. I'm going to delete my (50K+) follower account on the 13th of August. I'm staying for a month to do a count down and encourage others to .

I don't have a recommendation of where is best to go. Anywhere is better than Twitter and its ocean of hate. Appreciate a boost to build a bit of momentum for this protest attempt
