Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.
One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.
When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

Preventable disaster at The New School, a true beacon for social science research and teaching
They claim financial exigency, but then turn down $4 million pledges to keep the PhD programs open and disregard financial analyses that point to the real problem—bad real estate deals, spending on consultants, and their own salaries 2/2

Neighbors alerted me to an ICE raid happening down the street so I went down there to help. It’s a fucking warzone. Smoke, pepper bullets, screaming. The street is blocked off with community members fighting back. All because they are raiding a fucking taco restaurant. What the fuck is going ON.

The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.
My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

50 Cent kept and paid for receipts, that much is obvious. What is not maybe obvious is that black women are absolutely not seen as credible ever, not even by other black women. The rape culture in the US is just as demonic and deranged as ever.
