Other states also require faculty to post syllabi online, and my sense is that the public has mostly been ignoring the syllabi -- but as attacks on academic freedom ramp up, it would be a mistake to assume this will continue.

With major slashing of the SNAP program, if you can afford it, today might be a good day to double your monthly contribution to your local food bank. I know that it won't fix the tragic and cruel cuts being made by the Trump administration, but it will help many families in need.

We marched for a mile and then merged with the back of the marchers. Over a mile of people, 8 abreast. Amazing!
