The actions & managerial styles of Professor Bell & Ms Bishop represent the managerial model of university administration - that sees staff & students as units to be manipulated in service of KPI outcomes, regardless of effects on the quality of research or teaching, or on institutional culture, student experience or the well being of staff - working as intended. These leaders were appointed because that is what they do.

The “alpha male” never existed — not in wolves, not in men.
But the myth lives on.
And it’s poisoning how boys are raised, how men relate, and how power is performed.
Time to dismantle the lie.

The Observations From an IG Engagement
Si te pica, arráscate.
This is coming from another Dominican. Recently, I replied to someone on Instagram, sharing my personal experience of working with Spaniards while living in Europe. I mentioned how, despite how strongly some Dominicans align themselves with their Spanish roots, Spaniards don’t necessarily view us the same way. Instead, they see us, the colonized, as a “lesser” or “uncultured” version of them.
You’d think I declared the end of the world with how many Dominican accounts came for me, as if I were some cucaracha trespassing in their house. Their reaction says more about the aferranza—the clinging—to white culture that exists within our community than it does about me.
The vitriol I received for this simple observation was insane. If my mental health were fragile, I could see how this level of rejection would have pushed me into a digital and real-life hermit mode. But thankfully, I’m in a good place and want to dissect this phenomenon because it’s something I’ve experienced my entire life—within my family, with Dominican folk, and even with non-Dominican Latines.
Any critique of Spanish or European culture always seems to hit Dominicans like I’ve taken the Lord’s name in vain.
The Fallout
All I did was share my experience. My comment theorized that Spaniards don’t ride for Dominicans the way Dominicans ride for them. Then I went back to cleaning my house, completely unaware of the storm I’d unleashed.
When I checked Instagram later, my comment had 200 likes and a flood of replies. My first thought was, “WTF, what did I say?” I re-read it. Nope—nothing offensive. Yet, to Dominican accounts, it was as if I’d insulted their mother.
I replied to a few disingenuous comments filled with logical fallacies, but most I let go. I’m not in the business of arguing with ghosts and internet randos. Still, this digital altercation solidified some observations for me about Dominicans:
1. Criticism of Spain hurts deeply because many Dominicans see themselves reflected in Spaniards.
2. Centering Dominican African heritage triggers attacks because it threatens their sense of identity.
For these accounts, it seems acknowledging our African roots feels like a threat to their European ones. It’s as if being Dominican means you can only choose one or the other. Many would rather uplift the European side while letting the African and Taino heritage fade into the background—silent, like the H in Spanish.
Where This Comes From
This mindset is the legacy of brutal colonization. For centuries, centering whiteness was a matter of survival. To do otherwise often meant violence or death. I get that this history shaped us. I understand that confronting these truths is uncomfortable and can take generations. But it’s 2025.
We have access to endless resources and tools to unlearn these harmful mindsets. There’s no excuse to remain this obtuse.

There’s been some drama among leadership where I work. The Big Cheese drove out the only really effective team member and then installed their own son (Little Cheese) into a role that Team Member suggested and then took credit for everything. #ToxicCulture
