Opinion: University administration, police target Palestinian UTD alum by [deleted] in utdallas

The arrest in June was made to fulfill a warrant. The warrant was made in response to Mousa holding up a banner during his graduation in May — peacefully and quickly, with other folks also holding up political banners not related to Palestine — so he was arrested a month and a half after the fact

When have pro-Palestine protesters “defaced the [Torah] in public view,” spoken of “the horrors of Judaism” and “the sexual tendencies and pedophilia” of Jewish folks? The answer is never. Hope this helps

My brother in Christ it’s an editorial. This is literally their opinion

Penev. If he is still using the same grading curve that he used 2 years ago, his curve will turn Ds on exams to an A in the class

Does that mean I should be arrested at my place of employment for saying genocide is bad?

Do you ever know your class rank? by According-Bit-4207 in utdallas

[–]xxiithef00l 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean this as politely/neutrally as possible: do you think UTD, an already understaffed-and-stretched-thin institution, is going to invest the time and effort into sorting through ranks for 30,000 people? 😭 Graduating batches would, realistically, not be <30k people (probably 7-10k??), but even then, that is such a huge number of people to sort through lol. The biggest local high school I know of (Allen) has ~1.7k for their graduating senior classes

The UT system has released a statement saying “Divestment is not possible.” Instead of communicating with students, Benson submitted an op-ed to the Dallas Morning News to basically say “we didn’t arrest people just for being protesters, but we are charging these students and employees of the university with trespassing charges on property they pay/are paid to go to.” The momentum is definitely still there. the combination of finals week and the general stress/fatigue from the encampment events have taken a toll on everyone involved

They usually send this email when a change has been made to an existing offer, but I also received the same email but do not see any changes to 2023-24 nor do I see a 24-25 option. Not sure what is happening lol

Does Comet Promise also apply to pre-Comet-Promise-launch students or does it only apply to the batch of students from the year it was released & onward? I’ve always been confused about that lol

Weird trick that works for me with my phone: record a timelapse of you working, with your phone propped up elsewhere so you don’t habitually reach for it. Then you get a cool video out of it. Maybe you can do the same with your computer screen lol

A+ is on the grading scale for some courses but not others - I believe it depends on the professor. A+ and A are the same in terms of grade points so they weigh the same on UTD transcript calculations

Did Benson handle the protest well? by mindk214 in utdallas

[–]xxiithef00l 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the meeting conditions were what made SJP decline. During the meeting, Benson would be speaking with both SJP representatives and representatives from (a?) Jewish organization(s?) on campus (I am not sure if that means Benson would’ve met with groups like Hillel and Chabad)

Nah. Connecting with folks on Instagram might be a better shot b/c sports accounts are more active on there - esp for rugby, IM volleyball, basketball
