Faculty groups have slammed the measure, which would allow boards to terminate instructors who teach programs with low enrollment or revenue.

This #climate is a serious clusterfuck I am telling you.

It is about 80F locally now. 🥵

Weather service just issued a fucking freeze warning from this Sat. at 12am to about 10am on Sat. Let me repeat: a freeze warning. 🌡️🥶

Legislation in at least eight states would expand the rights of doctors, nurses, hospitals and even insurance companies to refuse to provide or pay for care.
