First time attending SEA in person and I will definitely be back! It's been a great 2 years as grad rep and I'm excited for the new crew 🔥🔥

This is just reprehensible. The flagship university in #Florida FIRES all DEI staff. Ben Sasse is Desantis’ lackey. Good luck using blood money to retain faculty.

This USC Race and Equity report is so important right now as, here in KY, legislators are spreading misinformation & are about to pass anti-DEI bills, which will initiate a bunch of lawsuits. race.usc.edu/wp-content/upl…
