@CaitlinPacific That the phrase “not what to think but how” has gotten to college tours shows how much conservative lies about higher education have changed it. What a shame Caitlin didn’t consider that. And on the subject of teaching in college…
@CaitlinPacific Teaching in college isn’t teaching debate. It’s not done to pair sides, know your own and strength/weakness of opposition. That is debate. And that a Georgia Board of Regents and Caitlin want more of that tells me…
@CaitlinPacific They don’t want professors to profess. We teach what we profess. We use dissoi logoi and Socratic method to do that. But we profess our POV/opinion/etc. In first year writing aka “how to argue” class I profess a specific …

Tenure gutted. Diversity deleted. Academic freedom under attack. In stark terms hundreds of Georgia #highered @BORUSG faculty describe the impact on research, students, and hiring in the Fall 2023 Georgia @AAUP newsletter. A thread. 1/x aaupgeorgia.org/newsletters
I’m having to watch my back and under
constant stress. This is not how I thought
the height of my academic career – I have
an international reputation in my discipline – would go.

I no longer feel that I can have frank
and open discussions on sensitive topics
with students. 2/x
I teach ethnic minority literature. I do
not feel safe teaching it these days.
I feel demoralized and unappreciated.

We had four failed endowment chair
searches this last year! 3/x

🧵 Much has been said about the Christian Nationalism of new House Speaker Mike Johnson. Charlie Kirk lays out in a concise tweet this ideology he shares with Johnson. Follow along to see the future 1/x

First thing to notice: Kirk and Johnson justify their political ideology with Christian scripture. Kirk uses the doctrine of depravity to justify constitutional “decentralization” of power. This is not same as “separation of power” though linked. Former is a nod to… 2/x
The hatred of federal government by conservatives. That doesn’t mean they hate power, only want it not merely in states but even church-based. Theocracy at local level. 3/x

Tomorrow Turning Point USA begins its third pastors summit. How deep is the organization into the Christian Nationalism and Seven Mountains Mandate that Charlie Kirk embraced in 2020? Let's look at the speakers and sponsors 1/x

An @aaup survey of faculty in 4 Southern states shows the wide impact on #HigherEd from political attacks & tenure gutting. This @chronicle story quotes a few individual responses. Here are some more striking voices from Georgia: #gapol 1/x chronicle.com/article/in-the…
"An overall climate of fear of retaliation and mistrust is the worst I've seen in over 20 years in academia."

"Actively looking for industry, non-profit, and consulting roles just in case it gets worse." 2/x
"Engaging less with programs on campus as there is high potential for them to be cut."

"I can no longer look my classes in the face and tell them that their college education will be a net-positive in their lives." 3/x
