Really looking forward to this conversation. (Full disclosure: I expect to listen and learn more than I talk. But, I’ll do the best I can to be interesting in such impressive company!)

So UVA rejects the Compact but still makes an odious side deal. We invite all UVA faculty and staff to join Stand Together for Higher Ed. It’s free, and we’re building community and strategies to stop this madness www.standtogetherhighered.org

"The strength of American higher education lies in our collective commitment to truth, freedom, and excellence. The response must be unified and unequivocal: Universities will defend American freedom. They will protect each other."

Many institutions, organizations, & individuals are standing together to say NO to the White House Compact. Faculty fellows at leading Institutes for Advanced Studies are adding their voice to the choir with a new open letter:

Today is the launch of my video series & website on “The Brown Book”, a guide to Black Joliet, Illinois in the late 50s. The streets that were once the heart of a bustling community are now home to the county jail and vacant lots. We document that here www.beyondtheconfinesofplace.org/the-brown-book

Sociology Professor Corey D. Fields Named to Prestigious Behavioral Sciences Fellowship at Stanford - College of Arts & Sciences Fields will be working on a book project that explores recent discourse in the U.S. around issues of public health and racial inequality.

"To be invited to this interdisciplinary fellowship environment is really cool... I’m pretty stoked about it."
