This week we're talking about the proposed cuts and layoffs at West Virginia University, and to do it we've enlisted a damn platoon.

First we have Dennis Hogan, a postdoctoral fellow at Haverford College, who has an article in The Baffler this week about the WVU situation (link below). Then we have two grad students at WVU, Bethany Winters and Christian Rowe, who are involved in the union (@westvirginiaunited on Instagram, @wvunitedsu on Twitter). Finally we have writer and professor Glenn Taylor (@GlennTaylorBook on Twitter), who teaches in WVU's creative writing department.

Check out Dennis Hogan's article here: https://thebaffler.com/latest/capture-the-flagship-hogan
