American college students should live in a country where they do not have to receive an alert from their University that says, "Run. Hide. Fight."

With everything said, I do think if you want to participate in historically pinpointing the moment sublimation came to a full stop, you might want to watch MILF Manor.

In response to repeated violations of federal labor law by Medieval Times, we have walked out ahead of our second performance of the day. We will not return to work until we reach an agreement with the company on how they will address these unfair labor practices.

Excited to share my conversation on @thedigradio with @DanielDenvir about how I’m thinking about contemporary colleges and universities, especially their role in the economy, the explosion of labor organizing, and the continued importance of the university as a site of struggle twitter.com/DanielDenvir/s…

Temple President Wingard, an EdTech shill masquerading as an educator, chose an apocryphal Twain quote for the epigraph of his 2022 book, "The College Devaluation Crisis: Market Disruption, Diminishing ROI, & An Alternative Future of Learning" [eyeroll]

The administration's retaliatory actions against their graduate students are shocking and likely illegal. Please sign this petition. I hope all higher ed reporters are taking notice. (h/t ).

Been thinking abt the story we tell of the US English dept. Yes it’s one of crisis & decline not to mention right-wing racist attacks/bans. It’s also—right now!—one of collective action by grad/contingent workers in union w/ peers across the uni. I wish we’d tell that story more.

Shame on Temple for these unprecedented unfair labor practices; Senator Fetterman, Senator Casey, and Ibram X. Kendi all agree. , your move. Yesterday's tweet isn't enough.
Quote Tweet
Graduate student assistants @TempleUniv are striking for more pay and benefits. This is an inexcusable and cruel retaliation from TU. As an alum and former graduate student assistant, I remember the low pay and negligible benefits. TU alumni: Support these striking students. twitter.com/mings_ga/statu…

Temple grad students are fighting for better pay and working conditions. This retaliation tactic by Temple is unacceptable. The right to organize—and to strike—is foundational in a democracy.

temple faculty what's mobilizing
Quote Tweet
Temple University is requiring grad students to pay back a tuition remission as retaliation for strike action. I can’t sufficiently underline how reprehensible that is. Higher education will not forget, @TempleUniv. I truly hope faculty are raising hell on their students’ behalf. twitter.com/mings_ga/statu…

By following through on their threats, Temple is making a choice that no other university has made during a grad student strike. Absolutely shameful and disgusting.

Nature is an inexplicable problem; it exists on a principle of destruction. Every being must be the tireless instrument of death to others or itself must cease to live yet nonetheless we celebrate the day of our birth+praise God for having entered such a world. Bronte, Butterfly
