It's not just 'a woman' this is Dr. Tiffany Willoughby-Herard.
A woman who said she is a professor in the global studies dept was detained alongside UC Irvine students
When asked if she was concerned about possibly jeopardizing her job, she responded, "What job do I have if the students don't have a future?"

Perhaps, instead of sending empty emails and offering spaces of reflection on the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's murder - institutions could post an update of how they've implemented change to eliminate anti-Blackness -- beyond the task-forces, and town halls...
