Pissed off to find out that campus management has forbidden students from using the rear library elevator intended for campus staff (the only elevator currently working in this building) to come and go from the library because I'm told "one time a student was caught taking books out back without checking them out."

"Accommodating University Students with ME/CFS" (2020)
I liked this. Has lots of ideas (though only some would likely be instigated in any one case).
Authors are from the US but many/most of the ideas would translate elsewhere
Also useful for other chronic illnesses

I'm not saying that accessibility is a problem in Higher Education, but I'm trying to boost photos of the HE strike that have #AltText and well... hmm.

Just saying "photo of a strike" isn't really enough.
Ideas: What do the banners say? Is everyone wearing those cute, pink UCU hats? Where are they? Is anyone doing anything unusual? How many people? Big crowd? Rioting? Fighting with police? Standing about? Singing? Shouting? Looking cold? Just staff? Students? Impressive brazier? Marching?

#Voting today in the #USMidterm. Feels a bit sisyphean in #SouthCarolina, but in addition to all of the national travesties Republicans are pushing, they're running a state superintendent campaign built around blocking federal requirements to protect #DisabledStudents from discrimination in schooling. Even if the state will ultimately side with that out of the (absurd) fear of #CRT, I can't abide it.
I love my home state and want to see it get better. But this is exhausting.
