I've been out of the field for 15 years but I can imagine the kinds of stress and problems a new accrediting body is going to create for state schools' graduate admission processes. Will legit regionally-accredited schools accept diplomas from these less rigorously-accredited schools? Mess ahead ☢️☹️
TX, FL, GA, TN, NC, and SC public universities are creating their own "alternative" accreditation agency; so no fear of loss of accreditation. LA has expressed interest and desire to join. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

#AshmoleanAdvent Day 2: A Bronze Stag 🦌
This Roman bronze brooch in the shape of a stag would have been used to fasten a shawl or cloak.
This brooch was once decorated with bright multi-coloured enamel which was very popular in Britain and France during the Roman period.

It feels like the democrats new slogan should be something like “this won’t happen anymore” instead of the floor and ceiling thing
When Roe v. Wade was overturned, and abortion became illegal in Alabama, helping people get out of state came with the threat of jail time.
Reporter Nina Martin spends time with abortion rights groups following how they’ve adapted to one of the nation’s strictest anti-abortion policies.

having seen the original a couple times: caught the last 30 mins of True Grit (2010) and i gotta say using a song that features so prominently in Night of the Hunter feels like a lazy choice to borrow some cachet; however, i may change my opinion if i actually watch the whole thing at a later date 📽

Somewhere in a Roman brickyard, around 1800 years ago, a fresh tile was drying ahead of firing - until a dog trotted straight across it.
Centuries later, the tile has made it into a museum: not because of an emperor, but thanks to one dog who accidentally walked his way into history.🧵1/2
