I really don’t believe you can be a feminist or an antiracist if you are made uncomfortable by profound conflict. When someone sticks a knife in the wheels of a well oiled machine, it’s gonna get very bumpy. Real transformation is anything but a feel good experience.

1/ Re: Harvard letter (and all such similar letters), I will share that I experienced bullying, harassment, and violations of research integrity by a “prestigious” senior professor for two years. I went repeatedly to my chair, Associate Dean, and Dean. I told senior colleagues.

4/ Good luck out there folks. If you’re in a position of power, don’t defend someone just because they’re your friend or you’ve had a good experience with them. If you’re being mistreated, report it soon and often to the offices on campus that are actually willing to help you.

3/ If something like this is happening to you, the ONLY people you should go to are Human Resources and the office of civil rights at your institution and you may have to go several times. I was too inexperienced to know that and no one suggested that I go there.

2/ I sought out mental health support and was put on medication for the first time in my life. Not only did nothing ever happen to this person but I was made into the bad person who was somehow mistreating them! All their “prestigious” friends continued to defend them.

Perhaps the reason our admins are afraid of supposedly “unknown”community members is because they’re so disconnected from our community. The “outsiders” I saw at the encampment were local business owners, artists, local activists with long standing relationships to the community

So weird how my employer called in state police to pepper spray students and faculty in our faces, throw us to the ground, and arrest us. Then they gave a webinar providing unclear and false info. And now we’re just supposed to move on like nothing happened.

It’s a relief that classes are over, and I don’t have to figure out how to create space in the classroom for students to process yesterday’s trauma. Getting tired of admin putting students in harm’s way and then expecting faculty to act as trauma therapists in the aftermath.

In Faculty Senate meeting yesterday, Ryan and co. admitted that the only info they had on “outsiders” came from police and they sought no alternative sources of info. This was the exact mistake made by Sullivan in 2017.

At yesterday’s faculty senate meeting, faculty not on FS had to demand to be allowed to ask questions of university leadership. They asked Ryan and co. to stay a few mins longer. “We are your colleagues. You work with us. What could be more important than this?”

I feel you! Conflict is hard. But so often people believe that if something makes them uncomfortable, then it is inherently wrong. This is a belief that I associate mostly with deep privilege—the idea that everyone one else should ensure the comfort of the privileged.

This reminds me of Kate Mann’s cogent argument that misogyny is not the hatred of women. Most have a mother (or daughter) and very few people simply hate women. Misogyny is the rage and violence that comes out when women challenge male dominance.

So much for transparency and actual dialogue. They were just answering their own questions. A literal echo chamber.

Yesterday Tim Longo said that people who are not faculty or students “do not belong” at our public university.
@TKennyFountain
A lot of othering went on in that Faculty Senate meeting this afternoon. It was scandalous. Perhaps the university should delete all claims of cultivating “community engagement,” or issue caveats: we will engage “the community” when it suits us and entirely on our terms.

Baucom kept talking about the “ache” that people feel about what happened. Tbh, the overwhelming feeling for me is fear…of the dangerous pattern of communication b/w police and univ leadership that is leading to cyclical crises and the fact that they see nothing wrong w/ it.

In those 15 mins that Baucom stayed, 3-4 faculty were able to ask questions. And that’s it. That’s what accountability looks like to our leadership. A scripted webinar falsely called a “townhall” and 45 mins at an FS meeting.

This is hysterical. They are still mad about this. For the record, I was saying that there is a different Southern U.S. history—one of racial justice and multiracial workers’ struggles—that I embrace. The UDC doesn’t get to define Southern culture.

Notice that Longo won’t say that these 4 “masked men” are violent criminals. He says that they were involved in historical events that erupted in violence. I assume this just means they were antiracist counterprotesters in August 2017

4/ The fact that I got to pursue an education, that I sit in a room and write with the door closed, is a privilege I do not take lightly and that I am proud and grateful to exercise. I have mad respect for women who are doing it all; I just personally don’t want to do it all.

This was a major lesson for the admin from 2017–that the local activist community knew many things before the admin did but they hadn’t established relationships with that community. This disconnect was something Ryan said he would work to change.

This case was not one of sexual harassment, which is of course rampant. The fact is that there are many different forms of abuse that are normalized in the academy. And if you speak up about it, you are framed as a troublemaker or unprofessional for addressing it.
