...We suggest that SEL represents a pragmatic utopian approach to navigating RPLEs, one in which the hope for a more just and equitable future is balanced with a clear-eyed pragmatism about navigating current restrictions and opposition."

...SEL is a collaborative leadership model that distributes responsibilities for equity campus-wide through embedding equity work in various roles instead of concentrating them in DEI-specific offices or staff positions...

"Although DEI efforts in higher education are under attack, institutional leaders can still maneuver through these restrictive and precarious legislative environments (RPLEs) to protect and advance equity on their campuses...

Thank you @royeljohnsonphd.bsky.social @drkalebbriscoe.bsky.social @garceslm.bsky.social for the call to action/research to counter the attacks on equity, diversity, and inclusion!

is now not the time for higher ed to step up its civic role to mobilize folks to change their political and material futures 4/4

rather than silently respond, how about higher ed folks let working-class folks know how their medical and other social services are impacted by attacks on higher ed 3/n

perhaps now it’s the time organize a new organization to engage in legal action AND organize communities’ political power 2/n
