    Why talk of the "woke academy" is as ridiculous as "woke capital" and "woke military"https://twitter.com/KeshavarzianA/status/1422282325870710784 …

    In a leaked private email Columbia U Pres, Bollinger -- "…the instructional faculty for the Core is largely composed of non-tenure-track individuals, which means we should have greater leeway to expect in-person instruction, if that’s what we deem best." https://twitter.com/AcademeBlog/status/1422190189997342725 …

        Also a big part of the reason why I'm not working on a PhD right now

        The academy isn't "woke" because....some administrators want in person learning?

        Woke has become a borderline Tourette's style tic which is a sign the speaker should be ignored.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Do you really think the existence of non woke things proves that woke things don’t exist? What exactly are you trying to say here, that these broad institutions are not monolithic entities? I feel like you are tilting at windmills.

        People who complain about how liberal universities are, particularly the people who run them, are usually ignorant.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        This kind of casual, dispensable attitude towards faculty is totally compatible with wokeness. Wokeness is mouth service to pieties, covering over callous power plays.

        This tweet supports the idea that "wokeness" has come to mean 'anything I don't like'.

        Can't we just save time and declare that everything promoted by the right is ridiculous? Fun game: Name something that isn't.
