What do academics have to do with mental health anyway?

“Not only did the ‘Prince’ purposely deemphasize the relevance of calls for divestment within the article advertised as the CPUC write-up, it characterized the conversation about mental health in terms that did not convey the meaning of the discussion.”

The Holocaust is not your political tool

“Li’s rhetoric suggests that she thinks entities — be they student groups or nations — represent entire populations, and that the actions of the former constitute grounds for universal judgment of the latter. Such a racist claim, made with the same terms in which racism against Jews was channeled into a plan for their genocide less than a century ago, is disturbing in its nonchalant attitude towards this history and hatred.”

DEI metrics should inform stories, not staff

“Assessments of our staff must be used as a reflection of the degree to which we successfully accomplish our journalistic mission, not as a way to ensure we simply get the best identity representation — though internal diversity will hopefully continue to fluctuate as a result of these improvements in targeted coverage. ”
