The more pressing matter is that the faculty union might go on strike this semester.

Seems like a combo of TIPS applications and students getting used to be together again in the classroom https://padlet.com/ariswinger/jrss65bxylg2ph2l/wish/2702836009 2023-09-13 22:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/jrss65bxylg2ph2l/wish/2702836009 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/jrss65bxylg2ph2l/wish/2702836058 I know one of the goals is making sure that teaching can be shared across partnered departments. How do we maintain our commitment to active, rehumanizing pedagogy if we end up with a department that doesn't share those priorities and goals.
