Article paperwork signed, article revisions resubmitted. Now, if I could find some time to code all my data, I would be onto something

I mean, it's been the conservative education project since Brown

The admin's response on e again has been, stop whining, we followed procedure. Except if you read the APC report it says, we don't agree with this. And the admin that brought the proposal voted on it. Had they not, all programs would have received a do not eliminate vote.

UNL is a fundamentally unserious institution and should be treated as such

I read Caring University when it came out and centered my chair job talk around it. It hits differently after last spring. But I'm glad my new institution has made caring it's thing.

Remember when we tweeted about not work and not politics? Here is that skeet

My other favorite bit was the part in the response where they said we filed it for attention. I hate, and I mean hate being the center of attention. I was so relieved to elope during COVID so no one would watch me walking down the aisle.

The Chancellor would like the challenge the mootness of our claims and says the grievance shouldn't even have gotten a committee... After the response sent last week that was essentially, nahahnah, can't prove it.

This is what Jeff Gold doesn't understand, granting favors to the drunk in chief that is the governor, who ran on playing football for NU and also actively trying to destroy it

Chancellor Ankerson reported enrollment is down mostly because graduate is down 10%. Maybe don't eliminate one of your largest grad programs that largely enrolled domestic students. Call me crazy, but that seems like a real own goal

Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

I read only a couple of sentences of the administrator's response to the grievance submitted last spring by members of terminated depts. It basically said nahaha, can't prove it and you are just doing this for attention.

I'm teaching leadership for diverse learners this term, or the equity course. This week, we're covering bias. The Smithsonian online exhibit that worked in August is now errors and images of military aircraft.

Joining Fac Sen is an interesting way to process your program elimination trauma. Apparently, I'm not the only one who volunteered as tribute 😂

My one sadness of leaving NE is actually that I never made it to the MN state fair even though it was in driving distance.

Even at my new institution that launched the year talking about care (and I just signed up for a book study of Caring University), there's still enrollment pressure. Lots.

Schools have a funding problem because people aren't having enough kids is a take 🤔

This morning's opening employee convocation is about the culture of care. And I am trying to convince myself that it might be ok to be hopeful that I won't get treated like I did by UNL.

We made teaching a job native born Americans don't want, like meatpacking. Now we will cut off the supply of immigrants willing to take those jobs. All in the name of killing public education.

Also things that seem knowable: the weight limit to land in state college is 39 adults. Why did you sell 47 tickets?

Dear United, surely you would have, or could have been aware of the Chicago airshow and rejiggered your flight schedule instead of basically forcing an entire days worth of flights to leave 4 hours late.

Hooded two of my last EdD students. They both did amazing work supporting reading instruction in their elementary schools. I'm so proud of both of them!

And how the NU admin are constantly pushing to get back into the AAU, just another sprint towards proving how anti-woke they are by cutting departments comprised disproportionately of women, people of color, and immigrants

When I read the phrase 'authoritarian entrepreneur' an image of Dr. Jeff Gold flashed through my mind. Advanced compliance doesn't begin to cover how the NU prez fell all over himself to get in line with authoritarians.

Well, my house was listed for sale this afternoon. Some how that makes it really real that I don't live here anymore

Apparently, my laptop just needed a 70 dollar spa day. It's working fine now. Syllabus backed up but of course didn't get to work on it today

At least the repair places said my laptop isn't actually dead phew!

Strange that the NU Board of Regents voted on 12/5/25 to eliminate the UNL statistics dept and their BA and tomorrow, they will vote to create a statistics BA at UNO. And are they going to hire all the fired UNL faculty 🤔 I didn't get moved to UNO, even though they were hiring. 🗑️

What's the one thing I haven't been religiously backing up in advance of losing my UNL One Drive? My new syllabus. What just died? My personal computer with the syllabus on it's hard drive 😭

Check your bingo card, already had to talk about UNL closing my department. It really is a trauma and it is impossible to get away from.

It's very early but here goes the start of my 40th school year as a student/teacher.

Leaving little room for indoctrination. Once again, we can't even get them to read the syllabus 🤷🏻‍♀️

Did my last dissertation presentation at UNL today. Another one that demonstrated our EdD program created transformational learning that benefited Nebraska's students. But yeah, were under performing

I keep saying I'm going to stop reading the Times, which I've been reading since I had to spread the physical paper on the floor because it was too big for me to hold, but this really feels like the last straw. Which means there is no national paper worth reading in 2026?

030

Dr. Sarah J. Zuckerman @drszuckerman.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Is it any wonder UNL is following all over itself to be let back in? Its leaders fall all over themselves to not piss off the christo-fascist governor. What are y'all gonna do, fire me again?

📢 Education is, and always has been political. In this moment, silence is not an option. If both parties supported higher Ed, we wouldn't be having this combo. But one is actively trying to destroy HE and P-12

Ah yes,a bill that says you must keep the things where we already statutorily put them in the first place. Should fix everything.
