“The Real College Experience” now includes emailing professors explaining having to quarantine because a roommate lied, or because you went out to eat, paying full tuition for mostly online or hybrid courses, & a rushed semester that proved to be fruitless bc we still went remote
“We are proud that we did it. NMU students had the real college experience - living in dorms, apartments, or their own homes, in person face-to-face instruction - all in a safe campus environment with social distancing, masks, and lots of Plexiglass." - President Erickson

In previous generations students made colleges and universities open sites of rebellion. A campaign led by @GraduateNmu may explain how the establishment has been able to repress student movement. bit.ly/3fSvdBQ

I would love if administration at NMU could acknowledge their blunders and lack of a better term, fuck ups, publicly and apologize, rather than apologize and address it in one on one conferences and meetings or exploit the fact that everyone is burnt out and tired of fighting 🙃

So many of our colleagues calling in sick today due to the added stress of budget and program cuts at @MarquetteU. Help us make sure that #NoOneGetsFired. Tell @PresLovell to find another way. @MarquetteUnited

Thank you, Governor.
Tonight, @MichiganHHS issued an emergency order that enacts a three-week pause, targeting indoor social gatherings and other group activities to curb our state’s rising #COVID19 infection rates.

People over profit @NorthernMichU @EricksonFritz What do you have to say about this report?? #irresponsiblemf
Yet, we receive emails refusing to place importance on plans to go remote and instead are told that everything is under control. Take care of your community, not your wallets. @NorthernMichU #sharenmu #nonmu

Why isn’t @NorthernMichU talking about this? The University prides itself on community yet community members are becoming ill and dying. Going remote is rational. Going remote is safe. Going remote is caring. #sharenmu

Cases have gone up in Marquette and townships throughout the area, and yet NMU still continues to teach classes in person. People aren’t wearing masks at supermarkets, in stores, out on the sidewalk...is NMU some “holy” ground where the virus doesn’t intrude?
Most of the worst virus outbreaks in the U.S. right now are in rural areas. Earlier peaks saw the virus concentrated in cities and suburbs, but the current surge is hitting remote areas that often lack a hospital or other critical health care resources. nyti.ms/2Thspnj

Administration now asking for ids and threatening students with student conduct violations for exercising their first amendment rights. Please take a second to retweet and show solidarity with our incredible and brave students.
We are about 40 strong down here at Zilber Hall. Undergrads have organized this action to defend faculty and staff jobs--who are facing hundreds of job cuts and a 45 million dollar budget cut! We are here all day supporting these student leaders

“Our paychecks are now $14 lighter. To you maybe $14 is not a big deal. Let me explain why it is a big deal to me. My paycheck is $877. My rent is $815. That is a two bedroom because I have a child, in the zip code of 32304 which is the poorest zip code in the state of FL-“
