6 left... just got out of a tense board mtg about them trying to cut our pay... grrr
11:48 pm
grannyrose
oh dear mich. not good news at all.
11:49 pm
mich_pdx
thx, granny. Teaching at a public college is challenging at the best of times. Since March 2020 its been really tough, and now less pay :(
11:51 pm
grannyrose
i hear you. stidmama keeps me pretty much in the loop. teachers in the USA have it really tough.
11:51 pm
mich_pdx
and vax can't be required, b/c it's not equitable, but they want us all back in the classroom by the end of the year
11:52 pm
mich_pdx
I miss the stid family.
11:54 pm
mich_pdx
somehow asking someone to get a free vaccine isn't "equitable" when clinics happen all over, drugstores have the vax, and Uber will take you to a place for free? (head shakes)
11:54 pm
grannyrose
can you please expand on what you said about the vax?
11:55 pm
grannyrose
now that's just plain nuts. i's free, uber takes you for free. what is this about it not being equitable? who cannot access the vax?
11:56 pm
mich_pdx
We are bending over backwards to be "equitable" and not expect poor ppl and brown ppl to have access to technology and resources. Somehow the fact that black and brown ppl aren't getting the vax is an equity thing. When it's really a distrust thing
11:58 pm
mich_pdx
If we require vax for higher ed, then we are excluding black/brown/poor ppl. The logic is warped.
11:59 pm
mich_pdx
OK, enough politics :) Just got my FW and time to settle in for the flip.
11:59 pm
grannyrose
sounds like resources on the ground are pretty limited. we had the same issue with our First Australians. the trust i mean. educate the elders, the rest follows.
