Cornell faculty are considering a no-confidence resolution over the university's handling of a 2024 alleged sexual assault involving Chi Phi members. The Faculty Senate is expected to consider it Oct. 14.

#Cornell #HigherEducation #CampusSafety #FacultySenate #SexualAssault

It’s not perfect and more work to do, but this is greatest satisfaction I have had in 2 1/4 very chaotic years on #FacultySenate leadership.

I feel pretty good at this #elected office thing, balancing advocacy with keeping good relationships with senior leaders, though last time I’m ever doing it 😂

In 2024, my #UMich #SenateAssembly colleagues elected me the first ever #clinical track representative to SACUA, the executive level #FacultySenate leadership, after the clinical track was (finally) given representation in 2023 (we were the very large Washington DC of the university for 200+ years)

There were two issues that came up in #FacultySenate discussions of this: how it affects transfers to other units (like say, #engineering or #business, pretty common transfers) or grad/law/med apps. In both cases the grades can be uncovered for the unit/school without student knowing. Non-issue

Two #FacultySenate colleagues are a (male) #history professor married to a (woman) #engineering professor and another is a (non-AI) novel-writing #engineering professor and I actually like spending time around all of them and consider them friends

The chance of me saying that about #techbros lmao

My fellowship has ended, I am staying part-time #clinical (though I am picking up a little #moonlighting here and there cuz 4 1/2 months in DC made me b-roke) and yet…I have still not had a day off in weeks 😂 (right now it is mostly #FacultySenate)

To give Perry benefit of the doubt, at my #FacultySenate leadership dinner this week I was in youngest 5% in the room. I was seated at table with a very young (early 30s) #nursing faculty and she and her spouse looked around the room and felt out of place lol - #academia has a #demographic problem

This is constant argument I have with a significantly older (65+) #physician recently elected to #FacultySenate. He thinks it's some great conspiracy tenure is not being offered to #doctors any more, because he started in time #clinicaltrack didn't exist

I feel strongly #tenure is dead in #medicine

at #FacultySenate dinner I was seated next to an older white male tenured #doctor in interventional field who...is a lovely person who praised his doctor daughter, and is good friends with and super praiseworthy of two women of color leaders in my department

Healthy #masculinity is so refreshing

My #FacultySenate colleague whom I had not seen in almost a year: "have you lost weight?"
Me: "I don't think so? I mean, I didn't do anything beyond, you know, spending 20 weeks of this year completely car-free, thank you DC, Canada and Seattle?"

That was enough to completely reset my #health 🤦‍♀️

So I had a #FacultySenate meeting right next to the stadium, and I did end up going to the game, and left at the end of the third because I have to be at #airport at 5 AM tomorrow and have shit to do, but thoughts:
1) there were a lot of OU people, including in my section
2) our offense still sucks

I’m not even in a #collegefootball mood right now (I will be fully back into fall vibes by next week with my season ticket), but just need to know as member of the #FacultySenate that we will have no #athletics drama this year. 🙏🏽 #GoBlue
