I just started listening to this, but to share with any trump leaning people in your life who love you but don’t understand why you are upset: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

AERA, in partnership with the Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Education over the unlawful dismantling of the Institute of Education Sciences. www.aera.net/Newsroom/AER...

Cuts to the Institute of Education Sciences threaten decades of progress in independent education research. We need more evidence—not less. Our case for strengthening IES:

AERA has just learned that all restricted-use NCES data licenses will be cancelled, possibly as early as March 20. We urgently request that all AERA members and others in the research community with restricted-use licenses take these two actions: www.aera.net/Research-Pol...

As a faculty member, I think I knew from afar what good people IES had. But over the past two years, I have gotten to work alongside so many of those who were just let go. I have learned so much from these friends and colleagues, and I am just dumbstruck at the scale of this loss for our country.

This. Lately I’ve had scenes from Wild Swans and the opening chapters of Three Body Problem stuck in my head. Just watch the first 10 minutes of Three Body Problem — it’ll set the mood.

It's that time of year to circulate this list of orgs for those seeking ed policy jobs/internships. Please let me know if there are opportunities/orgs I should add. Good luck out there! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Heading to #AEFP2025? We've been thinking a lot about what's happening at the Institute of Education Sciences and what it means for the field. More news coming soon on programming updates.

For now, some thoughts with our SREE colleagues www.brookings.edu/articles/cut...

My colleagues and I decided we would pull together a tracker of all the education-related activity of the new administration so far and uh, it's a lot. Did we forget something? (probably.) You can email [email protected] or my Signal address is cas.37.

Why we have and need a US Department of Education

🚨 New from @brookings.edu scholars, an initiative to walk through the federal role in education, particularly the ongoing need for a Department of Education and all it does

The DOGE purge is not just about the lives and livelihoods of civil servants—though of course it IS that too.

It’s about gutting crucial services for communities across the country.

EX: Head Start and early childhood continue to be directly in the crosshairs👇

It's time to start a thread on higher ed budget cuts announced due to actual and potential cuts to federal funding. Northwestern is placing additional scrutiny on all spending and trying to cut non-personnel spending by 10% this year.

We need IES!
