Excellent piece @MattMulcahy . Thank you. We can't have a society built on merit if we don't have equal access to education.
Action in the courts has Minnesota on the edge of a sophisticated plan to integrate schools across district boundaries. The lawyer leading this unique approach..tonight on CW6 News at 10. #TheMapProject #SegregatedSyracuse @CNYCentral

What an amazing poem. What an inspiring individual. Who is ready to be the light?
Amanda Gorman calls on Americans to leave behind a country better than the one we were left, echoing the words of the Athenian Oath inscribed at the entrance to the Maxwell School and recited by its graduates.

“Violent protest to overturn state certified election results to retain power is anarchy in support of dictatorship. The revolt they attempted is not a legitimate form of protest...it was an act of sedition.” Read Dean David Van Slyke's full statement: ow.ly/1tnL30rrGdb

Love this. Little sisters unite!
"Students seem to have a lot of dogs." Professor @LesRoseSyracuse shares his thoughts on his first days of remote teaching. newhouse.syr.edu/news-events… @NewhouseBDJ #TeamNewhouse

Final thought: Members of the press must take responsibility for mistakes, which of course happen. There's room for retractions, apologies, but we also must recognize this causes real harm. I've seen & heard the fear in students' eyes & voices as a result of this misinformation.

Great advice. Great speech.
"Own your situation. Let it make you resilient. Let it fuel your confidence...Be vulnerable enough to ask for help, and then be brave enough to take it." Mary C. Daly G’94, president and CEO of @sffed, delivers the Commencement address. #SUGrad19

A 3: The technology is becoming more complicated in terms of inputs and outputs, and explicability of the technology is getting harder. Education of our representatives and policy makers as well as the public will need to catch up. #ASPI
A 2: The rate of change is increasing. Can we effectively evolve our other systems in government fast enough to keep up? We have a responsibility to try. #ASPI
A 1: Automation is beginning to cross the line into issues that effect the human condition. Example: there is a big difference between automation designed to create widgets more efficiently and automation designed to tackle hate speech in social media. #ASPI
Q: Audience members asking how and why this is different from the technological evolutions that we've been seeing for decades, and whether we can ever get out in front of these technologies. #ASPI
It’s imp to have a set of baseline principles/values around these technologies. Then, we need to decide what it is that we want to achieve with #automation. We often see these technologies designed, without ever asking ourselves if they were really necessary. #ASPI @drturnerlee
Surprising: the fields that are most prime for automation are fields that have a much higher concentration of female workers. #aspi
#ASPI panel 3: @WhitmanatSU's @Suhohan; @iSchoolSU's @griderick; @BrookingsInst's @drturnerlee; and C&S Companies' @Andrew__Maxwell discuss the Broader Social Implications of #autonomous systems. @SyracuseU
