The use of #AI imaging in exploiting power is not a joke nor is it simply embarrassing. Content creators now have a moral and ethical responsibility in the consequences of what their images represent: in this case, a clear malevolent expression of self-ordained narcissism

How can college and university administrators build inclusive, resilient campus communities before problems occur?

Campus leadership plays an important role in establishing policy and setting the tone for faculty, staff, and students who look to administrators for support and guidance when responding to hate, harassment, and discrimination.

Campus leadership plays an important role in establishing policy and setting the tone for faculty, staff, and students who look to administrators for support and guidance when responding to hate, harassment, and discrimination.

In the context of rising hate & extremism, faculty members are uniquely positioned to engage with students.

They can recognize early signs of alienation from the broader campus
community that can push one towards radicalizing beliefs, and they can help those who might be targeted due to their identities or affinities.

Staff members at an HSI may be the first people students turn to when they have experienced harm or witnessed an incident of hate.

Some students may go to staff members who have similar backgrounds or identities, perhaps out of trust or a sense of affinity, with concerns about microaggressions, conflicts with peers, or reports of bias on campus.

@perilresearch.bsky.social recently released our newest toolkit: BRICK for HSIs. Find out how you can use the resources and tools available for your staff, faculty, students and campus admins in promoting values specific to Hispanic-serving communities!

I used to live in Sackets Harbor when I was stationed in the military near that area. For a tiny town, the principal’s voice and actions should me mirrored everywhere.

Hudson's Bay to start liquidating stores as early as next week Hudson’s Bay says it will begin liquidating its entire business as soon as next week unless it finds a more viable path forward.

Canadian retailers have, for hundreds of years, fought to remain β€œproudly Canadian” in branding. The Hudson’s Bay is the oldest company.

β€œA closure of the entire business, which is planned pending a court appearance set for Monday, would mean job losses for 9,364 employees”

I don’t like using the same words dictators use like β€œczar”, it empowers them. Americans aren’t silent about this either, but there needs to be louder pieces about the arrests being made of Canadian workers with H1B or T3 visas
