Especially important school board races--to help determine how our public schools include and educate all children--and judicial races on the ballot in PA.

Governor Josh Shapiro @governor.pa.gov · 6d

The polls are open, Pennsylvania!

Our democracy is stronger when we all participate – so if you haven’t already, be sure to cast your ballot before 8pm.

Dartmouth is OUT! Thank goodness... a friend at U of A and I have been playing "Who will be the last of the 9 standing?" and it's not gonna be us!

Dear Secretary McMahon, Ms. Mailman, and Mr. Haley,
I appreciated the opportunity to speak with you yesterday.
I welcome further engagement around how we can (a) enhance the long-standing
partnership between the federal government and this country's leading research
universities and (b) ensure that higher education stays focused on academic
excellence. As I shared on the call, I do not believe that the involvement of the
government through a compact--whether it is a Republican- or Democratic-led
White House-
is the right way to focus America's leading colleges and universities
on their teaching and research mission.
Our universities have a responsibility to set our own academic and institutional
policies, guided by our mission and values, our commitment to free expression, and
our obligations under the law. Staying true to this responsibility is what will help
American higher education build bipartisan public trust and continue to uphold its
place as the envy of the world.
We remain open to other ways to work with the federal government to enhance
higher education.
Best,
Sian Leah Beilock
President

New article examining enrollment in two-way dual language immersion programs in LAUSD. These programs are often located near students who benefit most from DLI. But (in article freely available through end of next month)... (1/2)

Grateful for this coverage of recent early childhood research from Center for Education and Civil Rights. With amazing recent grads Rohitha Edara & Karen Babbs Hollett.

New research from Penn State finds early childhood classrooms across the U.S. remain highly segregated—over 25% are 90%+ one race or ethnicity. These patterns shape opportunity from the start and call for equity-driven policy change. bit.ly/4hbLbH1

As @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social alum, very glad to see this. Many of the things this compact seeks to change would have lessened my college experience. Important moment for higher Ed.

Jeff Sharlet @jeffsharlet.bsky.social · Oct 4

It appears that my employer, Dartmouth, one of the Trump 9, has said no to the compact. All the better given that our president is cited within it. But she’s saying no. Count the small victories when they come.

Office of the President
Dear Dartmouth community,

As many of you know, Dartmouth was one of nine universities asked by the White House to give feedback by Oct. 20 on a draft of its “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.”

I am deeply committed to Dartmouth’s academic mission and values and will always defend our fierce independence.

You have often heard me say that higher education is not perfect and that we can do better. At the same time, we will never compromise our academic freedom and our ability to govern ourselves.

Best,
Sian Leah Beilock
President

Congrats to @lexapot.bsky.social & the incredible providers she works with to stabilize ECE providers and to work towards funding full cost of care for CA’s youngest. This will support kids, families and providers.

Victory! Child Care Providers ratified our third contract with the state after months of negotiations, rallies, and vigils. This comes after both #CALeg and Governor Newsom have ratified this agreement!

So disappointed by this decision to wind down our local NPR station due to fed & univ cuts. I joined several NPR programs over my years here to talk about my research.

I’m also frustrated for our community & as a parent who has a kid who adores listening to/ learning from NPR when he’s in the car.

WPSU in Pennsylvania becomes the first public media outlet to shut down as a result of the rescission of federal funding.

WPSU TV and radio serves one of the largest geographic coverage areas in the nation, stretching across 24 counties of central Pennsylvania.

Penn State to shutter WPSU, board declines transfer to WHYY

In voting down a proposal to transfer the station to WHYY, trustees expressed concern over a $17 million subsidy and wanted a commitment to hire staff.

I have two disappointed kids by this @nytimes decision. They were always very faithful adherents to the tagline not to let adults read the NYT kids section. It helped make my son a devoted newspaper reader.

Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again
