What would be the cost to a university’s reputation if it were the source of a local outbreak? How many dollars would that be?
Our status as a censured USG and institutions is part of who we are now and until the BOR reverses its decision to end tenure at its institutions. It will make it easier for good faculty to leave USG institutions and harder for good faculty to decide to join us.
BREAKING: Moments ago, the governing Council of the AAUP voted unanimously to censure the @BORUSG for the unilateral action of its admin & governing board to remove the protections of tenure & #academicfreedom from the system’s post-tenure review policy.

This afternoon, we visited the new location of the Legacy Museum & the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. It is a deeply moving experience. I left feeling everything from sadness to rage to exhaustion. I’m so glad our students got to experience this truly brilliant curation

Faculty backlash toward Georgia’s new higher education chancellor: “Sonny Perdue was a foot soldier in this profoundly dysfunctional presidential administration. He was an enabler, a yes-man, a co-conspirator.” #gapol
