We a massmail today #WVU inviting us to send an ecard to celebrate National Boss's Day. Here's what I sent to the Provost.

Amid the sweeping elimination of degree offerings and faculty members’ jobs at West Virginia University, professors are left with possibly hopeless appeals. insidehighered.com/news/faculty-i…

Oh yay, Gordon Gee is giving his State of the University address. Every time he gets a platform to spout his poorly contextualized factoids, an angel is fired.

Gee wants WVU to help create "A great public square." I mean, it'll be pretty empty because he fired everyone who could participate in it, but sure. Go for it. I guess those are words you're saying.

Gee argues that WVU should capitalize on its strengths in sustainability, an Appalachian arts and culture. This is stunningly disingenous; every road block possible has been put in the way of creating real interdisciplinary programs in these areas.

Gordon Gee says Morgantown has become a destination. That's handy, given that around 200 + houses are about to hit the market.

Gordon Gee says he's pleased to share that auditors say the WVU is in great shape! Well then, sir, I have no other questions and I totally believe you!

gordon gee: "you have to decide if you believe in West Virginia University." I mean, I did believe in it, but then you destroyed it, so I guess six of one.

No matter how much administration wants to downplay the cuts, they are reverberating far and wide #WVUmistake

the most telling aspect of the collapse of Gordon Gee's brand: no one bothered to ask him questions after his university address. No one trusts him. No one can be bothered to hear his endless dissimulating. No one has time for his empty rhetoric. Brand Gee is over.

Another overwhelming vote of no confidence at WVU. 96% of the faculty assembly at the Potomac State campus votes against the campus president’s chief of staff. wvmetronews.com/2023/10/27/pot…

Now that the bomb threat at WVU has been handled, I'll just go teach my seminar like nothing at all is wrong with this place. Well played, repression. Well played.

I have had several exhausting exchanges on social media recently & can report that the political 5 second rule -- if you thought of something in 5 seconds, so did the people living through the catastrophe -- is not as widely known as the other 5 second rule.

I have to go to something where the dress code is business casual. Like what is that? Do I wear a tie but also sneakers and say the word leverage and monetize?

Willing to admit I'm posting all day today b/c I just found my password again this afternoon.
