    This is what I've been calling for! Post-pandemic sabbaticals. Though I also hope we'll adjust tenure and promotion criteria so as not to penalize scholars who've faced disproportionate pandemic challenges. Delaying tenure/promotion delays access to power.

    Post-Pandemic Research Quarter:Pursuant to the announcement sent to Stanford faculty members on February 11, 2021, junior tenure-line faculty members who will not have received tenure by September 1, 2021 are automatically eligible to take a Post-Pandemic Research Quarter during the 2021-22 academic year or subsequent years pre-tenure. The intention of this policy is to provide junior faculty members extra time to get their research back on track toward tenure as the academic community emerges from the pandemic. During this research quarter, the faculty member will be exempt from teaching or service obligations to the department and will thus be able to focus exclusively on their research. The Post-Pandemic Research Quarter is expected to be taken prior to the process of assembling the faculty member’s tenure file. To avoid disruption to necessary course offerings, departments should work with the faculty member taking a Post-Pandemic Research Quarter to find mutually agreeable timing
    Stanford has established a "Post-Pandemic Research Quarter" for untenured faculty to focus exclusively on their research: Policies like this are important for many who are caretaking, leading advocacy efforts, dealing with curtailed lab access, etc.

    Also applies to tenure reqs

    Ambiguous expectations might seem innocuous, but they cause stress and amplify inequalities. As I find in my research, privileged students feel comfortable asking for clarification or doing what works best for them, while others worry about how they'll be judged for not knowing.

    Experiences like this are far too common. Most often we feel unsafe sharing them except in whispers behind closed doors. Thank u, , for having the courage to say it outloud. Maybe one day we will have fewer to tell. In the meantime, solidarity to all those who suffer.

    I've analyzed decades of data, showing that the filibuster does, in fact, protect minority rights. The minority protected is economic elites! Average Americans are not well-served by the filibuster.

    Minority rights on legislation are key to the Senate. President Biden spent decades defending them. More than two dozen Senate Democrats backed them just four years ago. This isn't complicated. Simply reaffirming that Democrats won't break the rules should not be a heavy lift.
