NSF has posted an “update on priorities.”

They’re canceling all “DEI and misinformation/disinformation” grants.

NYU canceled a planned speech by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she planned to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and cuts to US AID.

This is what actual campus censorship looks like.
