Work Rant I Guess 

I spent a ton of effort over the last five days to prevent my boss from sending someone a set of course enrollment data b/c 1) it makes it look like there aren't problems but there are actually deep systematic problems and 2) it only looks good because it's the last three years and not the last eight also 3) we have NO IDEA why they look that way b/c we never did anything see systematic problem so OF COURSE HE SENT IT OUT now I'm praying she won't ask intelligent questions.

And also it turns out that a diverse set of students enrolling in a course does not mean the course is diverse when they fail and/or experience sexism and racism in that course so when a woman of color has a complaint and a cis straight white dude sends that data out saying "look at this we're doing things right" it's a REALLY BAD LOOK ahhhh.
