“the scale and depth of the attacks on our institutions—whether dismantled, weaponized, or personalized—mean that there is no simple way for a pro-democracy coalition to just flip the lights back on”

The scale and depth of the attack on our institutions means that there is no simple way for a pro-democracy coalition to flip the lights back on after Trump. We need transformative thinking.

MIT rejects "compact" proposed by the Trump administration.
MIT prez wrote: it "would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution" and "is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone."

Remember Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil who was abducted and detained for his pro-Palestinian speech?

His story is a prime example of what can happen when a school abandons its students to the whim of the government.

Together, Texans built one of the finest systems of higher education in the world. Ideologues and opportunists are tearing it down. It is a despicable act of generational vandalism that will hurt all Texans, their children, their grandchildren, and their great-grandchildren.

Professors want to leave Texas because of tense political climate, survey says

Professors’ concerns included the state’s DEI ban and new limits to faculty influence at colleges and universities.

“To equate the expression of such views with antisemitism is not only wrong; as Judt warned, it also risks putting Jewish students in greater danger.” www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

The Troubling Lines That Columbia Is Drawing

By adopting an overly broad and controversial definition of antisemitism, the university is putting both academic freedom and its Jewish students at risk.
