Universities are a site of resistance. Faculty think Chairs should resist. Chairs think Deans should resist. Deans expect Senate resist. Senate hopes union resist. Union resists, but there is so much it can do. While everyone resists resisting, @ass_deans do whatever they want.

Although not targeting replacing the right person (Reyes), this is a start.
Looks like someone started a @Change petition calling for the resignation of UMass athletic director Ryan Bamford: https://t.co/ESvfEQIszk

UMass strategic plan calls it Steward.
I want to thank @UMassChancellor @UMassAthletics @UMassADBamford for not caring about my fandom or money donated over the last decade. That being said, my fandom will be entering the transfer portal and I will root for a program that cares. I’m out

The mistrust is a logical outcome of financing every aspect of life,..., s each side doesn't trust the other, for good reasons, as all try 2 get ahead. This “dog-eats-dog” world of constant competition & lack of common ground is a result & reiteration of late capitalist society.

THIS!!!
“Javier Reyes has united the entire campus against him in a little over two years. He has instituted anti-worker and anti-democratic policies and decisions, which are a bad match with the history and values of public higher education in Massachusetts.” https://t.co/lYAVz1EMru

How many no-confidence votes is this now? Three, I believe, but honestly, I lose track.

The @UMassAmherst experience: Chanting disturbs the Peace; "Students' Health & Safety" leads to 134 arrests; When snow falls all day, it is NOT a "snow day," putting students' Health & Safety @ risk. Fireworks go off to celebrate a grave defeat; @ least @UMassWBB is winning!

"With its dubious legacy, UMass has come to serve as a case study for the irrational exuberance that drives so many college programs to chase top-tier athletic status despite the structural, financial and competitive realities stacked against them."
The Minutemen’s 14-year misadventure in the NCAA's Football Bowl Subdivision has become a cautionary tale of miscalculations, misfires and the difficulty of walking away from a dream once it’s begun. Learn more here: https://t.co/Rrx0F2JZLO

Let's update the tracker: UMass football is now 21-102 under Ryan Bamford. The record of the coaches he has hired is 8-67 UMass' overall FBS record is now 26-133 UMass is facing the potential of their 2nd winless FBS season and first that would be 0-12 with one game remaining

Spot on. UMass admin lacks accountability for Faculty, staff, fans, and everything. While spreading lies and half-truths about most things. And making horrible decisions at all levels without consulting existing knowledge.

16 months and counting without a contract for myself and many folks who keep this university running behind the scenes…

The answer to a demand for accountability and an accusation of incompetence is always: "Be polite." #MACtion @UMassFootball #Fireworks

@UMassAmherst still have no shame or accountability. They knew no one would care or be accountable for a bad product they produce. The perfect analogy to @UMassChancellor and his perspective on how to run UMass. To the ground. Football and Academics alike.
