Statement Re: OU Discrimination Investigation

Today, my client, Mel Curth, submitted her appeal of the University's Institutional Equity Office finding that she engaged in arbitrary and capricious grading of a student's assignment in violation of that student's religious liberty.

FFS! Back in Sept. the International Ski & Snowboard Federation (FIS) Council adopted an SRY gene test??? It's appalling how mainstreamed this has become. skiracing.com/fis-approves...

FIS eligibility policy approval tops the Zurich council meeting, as leaders also stress athlete safety and future prize money growth.

The feminist sports podcast you need is back, at least for now (we’ll have more on that later). Make sure you’re subscribed wherever you listen to podcasts so you catch this episode when it drops.

Friends have asked me for my thoughts about After the Hunt. Here they are. As others have observed, it is very dumb about tenure and academic life. (Why can’t people get the awfulness of this profession right!!?) It’s also horrendous on harassment.

A woman reported that Ronaldo assaulted her in Vegas in 2009. "In recent months, Ronaldo has also been part of diplomatic efforts to woo the U.S. President Donald Trump."
The United States Soccer Federation and the Portuguese Football Federation will soon confirm a match between their men’s teams to take place in Atlanta in March 2026.

The match could end an almost 12-year absence for Cristiano Ronaldo from playing football in the U.S.

I really appreciated this conversation with the folks at @radpedagogy.bsky.social! So nice to return to this conversation about love and work after a week of installing an (amazing) exhibition at Human Resources LA, and during a season of doing policy work via my UC service.
Our latest episode is dedicated to anyone who has ever done work they love in an institutional context where harassment + betrayal are endemic. What pedagogies emerge in/from that dynamic? Can we make institutions that love us back?

Jennifer Doyle (@fromaleftwing.bsky.social) talks about it.

I know we have a LOT going on but I remain just stymied by how little controversy there has been about athletic federations sex testing women athletes. It's so fucking wrong and I feel crazy for living in a society where women athletes aren't fighting back. That's my thought for the day.

Dear world,

I am sorry to inform you that women with an activated SRY gene exist and, equally, men without an SRY gene exist.

The SRY test is not a definitive marker of sex.

Yours faithfully

Biologists.
NEW: World Athletics’s reintroduction of sex testing at the World Championships 2025 is "a threat to all women", an expert has said.
