completely unsurprising reaction from @UVA, my alma mater. i'm sure a fiery statement is coming from @UVASociology, right?
UVA admin told students that camping tents on grounds violated policy. Then, they found out that camping tents on the grounds didn't violate policy. So, they changed the policy at 11:13am and had police enter grounds to enforce the new policy by noon.

In "Good Schools, Bad Schools," @skyedali considers the segregating effects of #schoolchoice--which, he writes, is at least partly about parents determining who their kids' peers should be. Read, download, and share this short, impactful essay at: journals.sagepub.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

obituary and postmortem of claudine gay's presidency at harvard. @thrasherxy on point, as usual.
here's my read of what happened with harvard's president, who i predicted would be out: we are in a dangerous place w political expression in journalism & academia, but (w one notable exception) not primarily bc of republicans & right-wingers, but bc of democrats & liberals.
