The correct response. Temple should hire new counsel, too, imho.

Not how labor law works.

You are right. Temple doesn't have an HR department or the legal department that would have cleared this. Now they are in deep trouble!

Who knew that Temple could be such a prick place. Maybe Fetterman can weigh in on federal funding once he feels better. Or, maybe Shapiro can zero out their budget request until such time as they treat their grad students like humans instead of chattel.

Conshie is just outside of Philly! A bit more than 50 minutes last time I drove down 476. More like 2 hours.

Dallas is the better town but WB may be more affordable.

One absolutely can deactivate health insurance. That exact issue was the subject of a teacher strike I participated in four years ago.
Depending on the type of strike this is, they may be protected under the labor board's laws regarding strikes on unfair conditions:
"Such strikers can be neither discharged nor permanently replaced. When the strike ends, unfair labor practice strikers, absent serious misconduct on their part, are entitled to have their jobs back even if employees hired to do their work have to be discharged."
If this is the case, what Temple did is illegal.
There are many other conditions in which the workers are protected, this is just one way in which temple may have violated labor law in the blundering way they've handled this situation.

There is no source you can provide because you can't "deactivate" health insurance.
The students that are striking are no longer employees, since they are not coming to work anymore. They have been notified twice in writing that not coming into work means they will be fired. Now they have been fired.
Were their paychecks also "deactivated"? They can continue under COBRA, that's the law, just like every other terminated employee.

Reply to comment by Or0b0ur0s in Landmark Pa. school funding case decided: The state’s system is unconstitutional by Hashslingingslashar
Suffrage for non-whites and women was made part of the Constitution through the amendment process. The Supreme Court can't touch it, the only way to get rid of it would be to pass new amendments or completely get rid of the constitution.

So if I Tweet that Fetterman ate a baby, then post a link to that Tweet, that makes it true?

That's closer to two hours.
Crime in Wilkes Barre is probably the highest of the cities you listed. Kingston is across the river from Wilkes Barre. Both will have typical small city nightlife.
Dallas is a suburban area, has a fair amount of restaurants and bars and probably the safest one you mentioned.
Scranton is also a typical small city. Has its good areas and bad.
As far as outdoorsy stuff, you can live anywhere in NEPA and find something to do within a pretty short drive. Hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, mountain biking, and if he likes winter activities, skiing, snowshoeing.
