Thank you @UMassAmherst faculty & librarians! Add this to the list of no confidence votes from unions, academic units, undergrad student gov & many student orgs across campus. This makes the Grad Student Senate an outlier in their refusal to even entertain the idea. Embarrassing.
No confidence vote: Yes: 473. No: 332. Abstentions: 20. No confidence motion adopted after four hours.

Any @UMassAmherst faculty live tweeting the emergency faculty meeting? This grad student would love to know what's being discussed. .

Add the grad students in my depart to the growing list of @UMassAmherst faculty, students, staff, & community members who denounce the actions of the Chancellor. I wish the Graduate Student Senate would join the list of campus groups that are publicly doing the same #NoConfidence.
CGSA denounces the administration's actions on May 7th. Egregious harm was committed against the UMASS community, and the administration's public response at Faculty and Graduate Senate meetings did nothing to restore community trust.

The @UMassSGA says it voted "with an overwhelming majority" Wednesday evening to express "no confidence" in @UMassChancellor Javier Reyes following protester arrests. And @RepMcGovern weighs in on #Fabulous413: "You don't arrest peaceful protesters."

Shame on @UMassAmherst. Are UMass parents ok with this? The school they trust to send their children to calling the police on its own students for peaceful protest?.

The use of numbers and data visualization to communicate “rational analysis” of a situation where, according to this newsletter, 151 people are being killed each day. Extremely gross use of data

Catching up on my inbox & just read this great blog post. I hadn't heard of Abstract Wikipedia—interesting technoskeptical take. "Ultimately, the social aspects of Wikipedia are what made it successful, therefore the solution to its problems needs to be social as well.".

This is my sister. Proud of her work but more so proud of her for this opening line—this could be her Real Housewives opening credits quote.
