Which is where equitability comes in when we make fines a percentage of income/worth, as that's essential for any sense of justice.
For reference, this is equivalent to a $180 fine for a person who makes $100,000 a year: literally rounding error to them.
just some quick napkin math on this, $375 million is 0.18% of meta's reported 2025 revenue of $200.97 billion, or 0.62% of meta's reported 2025 profit of $60.46 billion. $375 million is the maximum penalty allowed by law.

anyway my sense is that poly people are keenly aware of this but this stuff is complex and does not necessarily lend itself to off-the-shelf solutions, which is a problem when off-the-shelf equitability is most of the goal.

Emergency management (by whatever name) will always exist. It always has.
The question here is the effectiveness, efficiency, and equitability of that management.
I’d prefer the kind where as few disasters— namely the death and destruction parts— happen.

the playbook strategy used by consultants is uniform enough that faculty shd be able to point to the consequences elsewhere (e.g. WVU) & ask whoever & wherever they can, "how does this help access, equitability, or the academic mission?" & "where is the money going?"
I wrote an essay for @chronicle.com reviewing a new book that makes the case that more colleges should declare financial exigency to cut academic programs. The main audience of the book is institutional leadership and trustees, but faculty and staff should give it a read.
Are Colleges Really on the Brink?
A recent book says more institutions should declare financial exigency.

Hard agree. Their main attacks have been against equitability and knowledge.
I understand the allure of wanting to be a "carry guns and wear leather jackets" Black Panther but there's a case to be made that the most dangerous ones were the "feed kids breakfast and teach them about settler colonialism" Black Panthers

To be a good person you have to risk saying ‘no’, being disliked or called “mean”.
Because sticking up for what’s right against misinformed and/or awful people, they’ll be upset at boundaries and demands for equitability and well… tough, deny the harm until they evolve for your principles.

Just to be clear: this is an oligarchy, not socialism.
He isn't aiming for a common-owned means of production, with profits distributed equitability.
Instead, it's further concentrating the wealth in the hands of a few. While we already have one of the worst income inequalities.

IDEA is such a better acronym for Inclusion, Diversity, Equitability and Accessibility, but you know how hard it would be to doom-sell us racism if they went with that.

Some US transplant centers cater to international patients, mostly from the Middle East. International patients comprise up to 20% of those receiving transplants at some centers (like lungs at Montefiore). Raises important questions about equitability in access.
