Guest Essay by Debra Satz and Dan Edelstein

Adding Cal, Stanford, SMU is the best bad idea the ACC has - Luke DeCock

- The additions make the ACC measurably worse in football, men’s basketball.
- This expansion isn’t action. It’s reaction.
- If Notre Dame favors expansion, caveat emptor.

…We’re taking on housing discrimination & increasing homeownership. To date, we’ve invested >$7B in historically Black & to prepare students for high-growth industries. We’ve approved >$116B in for 3.4M so that receive the they deserve. And a new repayment plan is helping Black & cut in half their total lifetime payments per dollar borrowed.

"This is a union busting tactic. All of this is. Vouchers, charter schools standardized testing, and teacher evaluation schemes were all created with two purposes in mind: destroy the teachers' unions and privatize education. The end goal was 'dismantling tax-supported public education in urban areas' (Rooks 2017).

as a former academic, i TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THIS! i was earning less money (by far) to teach than my students were earning

Since the 1970s, many & have become financial giants, while mountains of student debt pile up & work becomes ever more precarious. An ascendant academic movement may be key to reversing these trends

Well said, Ms. Goldberg!

“Selective American tend to have more 🚺 than 🚹 applicants; to maintain something approaching a balance, some have adopted lower standards for men.
In other words, it often takes deliberate intervention —
One might call it affirmative action — to create a student body in which women don’t predominate.
New College isn’t jettisoning gender ideology. It’s just adopting a different one.”

So, what would take to get Clemson, UNC and Florida State out of the ACC grant of rights deal before 2036?

Here's an innovative plan that would only cost about ... (in Dr. Evil's voice) ...A BILLION DOLLARS!

@maripuerta Not a bug, but a feature. They hate and will destroy it if they can't turn into MAGA indoctrination centers.
