Different Than<p>Even "blue state" university presidents are in a tough spot: they will get negative press (i.e., career advancement threat) if they knuckle under to GOP/DOGE/whoeverthefuck, but they'll also potentially have those consequences from other quarters if they don't.</p><p>I don't think you get to be a university president by showing "bold leadership." You get that job by doing exactly what every other university president does, which is usually to make loud pronouncements about supporting the "academic status quo" (including supporting all DEI initiatives) while supporting the societal social status quo (i.e., quasi-corporate behavior, anti-labor actions, etc.) with the actions you don't publicly announce.</p><p>Currently, university presidents have few "career-safe" avenues of action. </p><p>My uni president has finally (after 3+ weeks and like 1/3 of the federal government usurped) made an announcement obliquely related to the insanity. It's only "you don't have the authorization to give ICE/FBI/whoever any information about students and you don't have the authorization to receive or respond to any kind of warrant so refer them to system General Counsel", but I guess it's something.</p><p>Maybe someday, possibly after the union is a smoldering ash heap, we'll get some bold leadership.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/suny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>suny</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/highered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>highered</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/professor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>professor</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/corporate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>corporate</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/educorporate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>educorporate</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>uspol</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a></p>

The odds seem so far to be about 50/50.</p><p>There is no way to know which items are affected *even when I edit each of the hundreds of items by hand*, because I see this placeholder for MOST of the questions but then the students sometimes see the image. Sometimes not.</p><p>It's silent failure. No flags, no checks, no indications of what's wrong. No way to know if any changes will fix things.</p><p>Other silent failures: BS will cheerfully tell you it has imported your 5,000 or so items (painstakingly created over the past decade) from your previous LMS--which was also mandated--and then just *won't tell you* that hundreds or thousands of them did not import because BS simply choked and pooped or because BS doesn't even have the functionality to use those question types.</p><p>I fucking hate this LMS, but I really hate the fact that the people in charge think so little of me and 30,000 of my colleagues that they shove shit like this at us and tell us to pretend it works.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/professor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>professor</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rant</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/highered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>highered</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/broken" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>broken</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/shittydesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shittydesign</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/baddesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>baddesign</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/badsoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>badsoftware</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/capturedmarket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>capturedmarket</span></a></p>

The NLRB's website (so far; haven't finished all the nooks/crannies) seems to be saying everyone can strike without repercussion. Do they really mean "...except public employees"?</p><p>2. There's a recent news story that 800 MDs/residents at the medical center of the University at Buffalo (a SUNY school) are contemplating striking.
