Using a large census survey, we found students are absent ~1 day more when they lack healthcare! #educationpolicy is #healthpolicy #absenteeism #attendance
Now published in the Journal of School Health, @wcastillophd.bsky.social and I drew upon national survey data to look at the relationship between missing healthcare when needed and student attendance.

The quotes from the UNC spokesperson do not provide any confidence that this will be resolved smoothly. If I'm remembering correctly, their raises take effect in July meaning delaying this vote actually messes with faculty pay. You don't do that *accidentally* cause you're *super busy*.
This is the first media coverage that I have seen of the UNC board's quiet decision to largely pause granting tenure outside of the health sciences. This is worth watching over the coming weeks.
At Chapel Hill, Only Health-Sciences Professors Have Been Getting Tenure
The UNC Chapel Hill board hasn’t tenured a single professor in fields outside the health sciences since January. The inaction has prompted confusion and alarm among faculty.

They’re basically just trying to kill off US higher education as an industry at this point. Even a delay will pose a critical decision for thousands of prospective students whose futures are now in the air.

When we add to this the Cato Institute report showing how many migrants sent to El Salvador had in fact entered the country legally, THIS is the top story of the night.
The U.S. is sending people to horrors in foreign prisons. People who have had no due process.
An actual nightmare.

This is catastrophe.
🚨According to litigators, ICE just put a dozen men on a flight (which may have already taken off) to SOUTH SUDAN, a country on the brink of civil war, in direct defiance of a court order requiring ICE to give people an opportunity to raise objections before being sent to a country not their own.

For comparison, they're sad that white men are only 56% of the tenured faculty in 2023 after being 64% in 2013
The percentage of white men in the US pop is ~30%. Thus, as always, the complaint is that white men are not sufficiently overrepresented (as they have been throughout US history). www.chronicle.com/article/facu...
