UPDATE: Both chambers have agreed to pass public sector collective bargaining for everyone *except* university employees who aren’t service workers. That means bargaining rights for janitors and groundskeepers, but not for professors and graduate student workers.
Over 100 university campus and home health care workers are outside the General Assembly Building demanding they be included in bills that would give all public workers collective bargaining rights. “@SpanbergerForVA sign that bill,” they sing 🎶

While at least five Virginia schools have received bomb threats today — campus police spokesperson tells me VCU has received no such threats. @theCT “We encourage anyone in the VCU or VCU Health community to call our department immediately if they notice or receive threats.”

I’m hearing hundreds of people showed up to the meeting in Hanover County earlier today — where it’s board of supervisors stated their opposition to the construction of a “processing facility” for those detained by ICE. Most folks couldn’t make it into the meeting.

VCU will operate virtually tomorrow - and plans for Thursday will be announced tonight. “Crews have made great progress clearing roadways and sidewalks. Still, the amount of ice and sustained below freezing temperatures mean secondary roads and many sidewalks are slick.”

Looks like VCU’s Turning Point USA chapter is seeing a revival — folks are handing these out in the compass. The club was last active in 2023. @theCT This comes after @GlennYoungkin announced a $100,000 donation to start TPUSA chapters at Virginia colleges, per @politico

BREAKING: In a 10-6 vote, the Board of Visitors have declined to implement the racial literacy general education requirement.
(1/?) Today I attended a pretty heated Board of Visitors meeting at @VCU where a very lengthy discussion was had on whether or not to implement the long-delayed racial literacy general education requirement. @theCT
