I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Interim President at @VCFA Vermont College of Fine Arts. I'm looking forward to working with staff, faculty, students, alumnx, and our board, to bolster our enrollment, to enhance our distinctive educational model, and to forge partnerships that will support and sustain VCFA.

Public media should do a 24 hour blackout. Nationwide. All platforms. All channels. #ADayWithoutPublicMedia

They say #HigherEducation is pushing an agenda. It is. It’s called “thinking.” What the culture war gets wrong about college—and why the real threat is our own ignorance. open.substack.com/pub/ramsammy/p…

A mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face in shame was unveiled in Roubaix, France, one day before the United States celebrates Independence Day on July 4. The mural, titled “The Statue of Liberty’s Silent Protest,” was created by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw, who painted the it over six days a building on Rue de Chemin-de-Fer. de Leeuw said the city of Roubaix "has a large migrant population, and many of them live in extremely difficult circumstances." "The values that the statue once stood for—freedom, hope, the right to be yourself—have been lost for many,” she said. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the U.S. and stands on Liberty Island in New York – nearby Ellis Island, which was a stop for immigrants making their way to New York in 19th and 20th centuries. Both make up a National Park.

Love this... instead of a performative act, do something for ethnic media.

Happy 90th birthday to the father of @NPR, Bill Siemering!

@ramsammy That is a good suggestion. I definitely plan to contribute at least 5x what I paid the WaPo in one year to media outlets - or individual journalists - who uphold democracy and aren't owned by billionaires.

Washington Post lifer:

@keithboykin x.com/ramsammy/statu…

I have subscribed to the Washington Post since 1993, but I just canceled my subscription today because of the paper’s abdication of duty to endorse a candidate in the most consequential election of my lifetime. Good riddance.

Washington Post's announcement: "The Washington Post will not be making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election. Nor in any future presidential election. We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates."
