- The student debt crisis was intentional.Please quote this tweet with a thing that everyone in your field knows and nobody in your industry talks about because it would lead to general chaos.
- If you voted for @ewarren please tell me. I need some more amazing people to follow. Y’all are the ones I trust most with our future. #WarrenJobs #Warren #Warren2020 #TeamWarren #LFG
- Dear @PeteButtigieg - It is clear you haven’t spent much time in public higher education, where just 1% of students are the children of millionaires. Almost all of those attend out-of-state. Please don’t propose policy without a clue. Thanks. #RealCollegeNew Pete ad in Iowa taking aim at Warren and Bernie over college affordability/debt (but not by name), arguing they’d alienate half the country by insisting it be “free even for the kids of millionaires”.

- I agree. @ewarren is being erased right now and the fact that she is a woman isn’t a coincidence. So here’s the deal: make your 1st donation to @ewarren tonight. Post it here and I will donate $10 for every new donor in the next 15 minutes. Spend my $$ #TeamWarren !!
- All low income students are high achieving. They survived far more than most of you. Yeah that’s a subtweet.
- I am appalled that apparently the board chair @TempleUniv thinks *he* gets to decide what we at Temple *all* think about @marclamonthill and is ordering lawyers to look into firing this tenured professor. This is not how free speech and tenure work.
- Fact: Hillary Clinton's higher ed plan continues to leave undocumented students out of higher ed. Bernie's fully incorporates them.
- Replying to @saragoldrickrabLet’s start with basics I’ve written about in many places, including all three of my books. (1) Americans have *never* agreed on equal opportunity for education for all, let alone for higher ed. The fact that the Pell Grant was created hardly implies consensus.
- Replying to @saragoldrickrab(2) Americans have long adhered to the idea that some people “deserve” support while others (the undeserving poor) should be “self-reliant.” You can trace a lot of this to the Protestant Ethic (as Weber does).
GIF - Speaking out while working for a #university ? Some tips to protect your career— cuz neither tenure nor the union will be enough. (1) Put a copy of every file & email you care about your *own* computer or cloud. Do not leave anything valuable solely on university computing.
- BEING UNCOMFORTABLE DOESN’T MEAN YOU ARE UNSAFE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE DOESN’T MEAN YOU ARE UNSAFE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE DOESN’T MEAN YOU ARE UNSAFE Grow up Presidents & Chancellors— leave the cops out of it. #GazaSolidarityEncampment
