Entre las múltiples imágenes que han deparado los lamentables incidentes en Francia, esta fitografía ha pasado desapercibida. El dueño de una librería en París mantiene su local abierto a pesar de los disturbios. Se sienta impertérrito mientras la calle ha sido escenario de una batalla urbana. Entre los saqueos, nadie se fija en una librería.
Another amazing issue of @JLatAmGeog by the authors and editors @CLAGGeography just arrived. Besides the great content, design innovations continue to make it not just of great interest but visually pleasing.

The transformation of Manhattan, New York City 🇺🇸
ALT This 1931 aerial view of Manhattan captures the peak of New York’s "Skyscraper Race." The newly completed Empire State Building towers over Midtown as a lonely sentinel, having surpassed the Art Deco Chrysler Building. The skyline features the iconic "wedding cake" setbacks mandated by the 1916 Zoning Resolution. In the distance, Central Park sits as an engineered oasis, while the waterfront remains lined with industrial docks, marking a snapshot of growth just before the Great Depression.

Why you’re seeing Louisiana doing this, despite this not being a unique problem, is likely because 1) we’re a poor state 2) we have a disproportionate # of D1 programs 3) we have a separate higher ed fiscal problem and 4) the entire state budget is also in a sensitive place
The University of Louisiana System hired a consultant to see if its member schools, like LA Tech, should leave NCAA D1 (via @ByPiperHutch)
So... Should financially struggling Athletic Depts drop to FCS or even D2 or D3??
*(literally 94% of the NCAA is financially struggling)

Nice to see an essay on first-gen student issues, but it misses the elephant in the room: 95% of profs come from Professional Managerial Class families and do not relate to students from the working class. insidehighered.com/news/stud…
