To the 2023 graduates of @UH_SocialWork: I was so proud to be your dean when you began your journey, and I am so sorry to no longer be your dean as you graduate. Had I been able to address you last night, this is what I would have said. alandettlaff.medium.com/7a69c3ee2f15

We have contacted the new @UHProvost Diane Chase and provided her with all of the open letters students have signed to make their voices heard+ let her know that we continue to want a say in the selection of an interim and permanent Dean #CougarCorruptuon #CoupGCSW #GoCOOGS

Typically, when a Dean moves on or steps down, they get a nice letter from their university wishing them well & outlining their accomplishments. Since I won't be getting this from @UHouston, I thought I'd document these accomplishments here - just for the record. A thread...

An excellent article from @truthout on the problems of child welfare “training programs” and how students are exploited for their labor in exchange for an education. By Elena Gormley with comments from me, @JMacForFamilies, and @SOFA_htx. truthout.org/articles/feder…
We received news from the Provost that Schwartz has withdrawn his candidacy for interim dean! #OrganizingWorks Given that match didn't work out… Roses are red, Violets are blue, We need an (interim) Dean, could it be you? *only abolitionists need apply

Thank you @TexasObserver for inviting me to share the story of my removal as Dean of @UH_SocialWork, and to share my thoughts on the real promise of abolition and why this work must continue. texasobserver.org/an-abolitionis…
In the current moment it is important that authority figures are held accountable for supporting and facilitating police and their brutality. You cannot fight for social justice whilst you are also supporting the police. #CougarCorruption #CoupGCSW #GoCoogs #Abolition
- Police training - 100 Club scholarships for police - Applied Correctional Practice Certificate - Criminal justice degrees with opportunities for placements in carceral institutions - Externships at the HC Juvenile Probation Department He has tweeted support of officers/UHPD.
The @UHProvost’s choice of candidate for the interim dean position is Jonathan Schwartz. Schwartz is not a social worker and as such is not bound by the profession's code of ethics, which includes social justice.
Today we sent our petition to the @uhprovost to let him know we want an interim dean who is a social worker. #CougarCorruption #CoupGCSW #GoCoogs
Make your voice heard, sign now! #CougarCorruption #CoupGCSW #GoCoogs #AbolitionistSocialWork #UHSocialWork
@UHouston's Graduate College of Social Work students deserve a leader who understands and abides by the Social Work Code of Ethics. Sign here if you think so too: buff.ly/3JabXAg #CoupGCSW #CougarCorruption
