"In our book, 'Our Higher Calling: Rebuilding the Partnership between America and Its Colleges and Universities,' we summed up this conclusion with the phrase 'Everyone should teach.'"—Opinion by @hholdenthorp & @ProfBGoldstein in @insidehighered insidehighered.com/opinion/v…

You may’ve heard I’ve got a big speech coming up. So, I thought I would hear from some folks who have done the job before – sort of.

It's #NewBooksTuesday and today the second edition of OUR HIGHER CALLING: Rebuilding the Partnership between America and Its Colleges and Universities by Holden Thorp & Buck Goldstein @ProfBGoldstein is officially on sale wherever books are sold ? ? uncpressblog.com/2024/02/20/…

Let me help you out and give you my thoughts on DEI 1. Diversity Good businesses look where others don't, to find the employees that will put your business in the best possible position to succeed. You may not agree, but I take it as a given that there are people of various races, ethnicities, orientation, etc that are regularly excluded from hiring consideration. By extending our hiring search to include them, we can find people that are more qualified. The loss of DEI-Phobic companies is my gain. 1a. We live in a country with very diverse demographics. In this era where trust of businesses can be hard to come by, people tend to connect more easily to people who are like them. Having a workforce that is diverse and representative of your stakeholders is good for business.

From a source I trust: Claudine Gay will not resign and the governing boards decided not to terminate her as president of @Harvard.

It's time. President Biden has served our country well. I'm confident he'll do so for the next year. But it's time for an act of personal sacrifice and public spirit. It's time to pass the torch to the next generation. It's time for Biden to announce he won't run in 2024.

COLUMN: Without Theodore’s leadership, willingness to build coalitions, and ability to move projects forward, elections at UNC would have remained deeply broken and undemocratic. A perspective from Andrew Gary. chapelboro.com/town-square/v…

Sidelining faculty and the Chancellor, the UNC Board of Trustees unilaterally announced the creation of the School of Civic Life. #UNC faculty and administrators recently resolved to make the best of the situation by turning challenges into opportunities. higheredworks.org/2023/10/go…

Proud to announce the endorsement of Min. Robert Campbell of the Rogers Eubanks Neighborhood Association. Min. Campbell has been fighting for environmental and social justice for decades. As @chapelhillgov mayor, I pledge to continue progress on the Greene Tract. TY, Reverend.
