Temple has always survived by extracting effort and unpaid labor from faculty/grad students. They make emotional and mission-driven appeals. It worked on me for years. The cruel actions against

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. twitter.com/mings_ga/statu…

Once when i moved to a new school i was assigned a Braille teacher who didn't know Braille. This sort of thing is way more common than people imagine.

This child, who is deaf, was assigned an aide who didn't know sign language for 12 years and as a result, never learned to read or write. He was sent home with a report cards of all As and Bs. Schools should be held liable for this. the74million.org/article/scotus

In 2020, at the end of his final year at Pitt, Damar Hamlin organized a toy drive for kids in his hometown of McKees Rocks, Pa. This is the young man who went down on the field tonight in Cincinnati. He is a man; not a number on a jersey. Prayers for Damar.

They can. But they won’t. It didn’t take too many times for me to get the message when grad student me was told by other male economists that my career would end if I went forward with a complaint. I hope when they met their Maker they had to acknowledge what they did. I doubt it
