It's been a big 2.5 years since SSHOC started advocating for safer University campuses that are free from sexual violence. We're stoked with the work we've done and look forward to continuing our momentum in 2023 and beyond. 🧵 1/

If you aren't interested in helping counties solve this problem, you aren't paying attention. The current situation is harming youth, burning out social workers and quite simply, making things worse instead of better. Fund Senator Angelique Ashby #SB408 in #CaBudget latimes.com/california/sto…

Dettlaff and his followers are trying to run any remaining rigorous scholars out of the child welfare field, or at least ensure that their work can’t find a publisher. If they succeed, arrant nonsense will replace legitimate research. city-journal.org/article/child-… American Enterprise Institute Independent Women's Forum National Association of Scholars

Agree - who are these people who are speaking on my behalf? Universities cannot speak with one voice on any subject - unless they are an autocracy. universities must be neutral newsroom.co.nz/2024/12/18/why…

It's not just employees leaving for Australia- University students are too . Not surprising - Australian Universities (especially the top ones) seem to have retained their focus on excellence and not social engineering . nzherald.co.nz/business/econo…
