Most colleges and universities are not proactively considering the needs of disabled and chronically ill faculty, staff, and students at this point in the pandemic and never ever will because they legally don’t have to until the people they should be considering out themselves.

I was really aware of everything for nearly 5 years. Always engaged. Always staying updated. I just kind of gave out, I guess.

I’m pre-planning for a potential development instead of just winging it if the situation arises. I am doing this because I am disabled and have learned disabled, communal ways. This is the right way for myself and others. But I do miss just winging things irresponsibly, tbh.

The student learning assessment thing faculty and admin get wrong all the time is that we actually should want and pursue 100% achievement of the outcome. That’s the entire point. A lesser achievement level is a tell about *something.* Many somethings to choose from, certainly.

Kinda wish the Democrats would treat this authoritarian takeover like it was a campus protest.

As I said to students in class just now, “I will gladly cede the unreasonable ground to my faculty colleagues—but not without judgment…”

I know there are not many academics around here anymore, but whatever, I’m in a mood: Writing program administrators who work out of a Provost’s office are traitors to faculty and to teaching, and especially so if they don’t ever teach.
