Today is the 6th anniversary of the release of the UC Access Now Demandifesto.
It was launched with a tool to allow people to contact Gov. Newsom, the UC Board of Regents, and every UC Chancellor to urge them to adopt its action steps.
This date was chosen because it is the anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. And at the time, 30 years later, UC institutions were routinely flouting the law. They still do.
We were successful in getting them to budge on some things, but they made sure to erase our name because they don't want students, staff & faculty to get the idea that banding together and pressuring them is at all effective.

This is something those who teach courses need to know - sometimes disabled students need to change position. They're not not paying attention. They're not trying to draw attention from others. They're trying to keep out of pain and keep functional.
Classrooms and lecture halls need the infrastructure that allows this, but they also need the *culture* that allows this.
(Note: not everyone who has this access need uses a wheelchair, or obvious mobility aid, either. It's still an access need.)

"A total of 36 faculty and academic staff will lose their jobs and three positions will be reduced from full-time to part-time in PSU’s new plan. Portland State had previously announced a plan for 52 layoffs in May. The cuts amount to nearly $15.9 million in savings for PSU.
This final layoff count only covers university workers represented by the faculty union, PSU American Association of University Professors."

"by terminating billions of dollars in grants, and never rerouting that money to other grant opportunities, the Trump administration violated the constitution by not spending money in ways Congress specifically required through laws it passed on how research funds should be used." #HigherEd #phdchat
-
"Federal agencies that terminated more than a thousand research grants at the University of California last year admitted that they used keywords related to diversity, gender, vaccine hesitancy and COVID-19 to screen for projects that ran afoul of the Trump administration’s priorities." #HigherEd
-
"By using keyword searches to review hundreds of grants and terminate them en masse rather than reviewing them individually on their merits, the Trump administration targeted research it found politically disfavorable, which is a First Amendment violation." #HigherEd

RE: https://mastodon.social/@hannorein/116963866947610693
"Responsible AI adoption at scale" is an oxymoron. Unfortunately, university trustees — typically, corporate shills and capitalist luminaries — make sure that administrators, whose salary depends on failing to understand this, fail to understand this.

"No faculty member, student, or worker should face the stripping of their livelihood for protesting a genocide or speaking out against corporate and political complicity. Academic institutions must serve as sanctuaries for rigorous debate, and free expression, rather than capitulating to the financial leverage of trustees or the political pressures of congressional intimidation campaigns"
