The neoliberalization of universities seems to have been the preparation for their dismantling under authoritarian rule.

Wow. The University of Chicago, a world-class institution whose humanities faculty in the past has included Homi Bhabha & Lauren Berlant & Ralph Ellison & Hannah freaking Arendt, is getting rid of basically every graduate department involving the acknowledgment that other cultures & languages exist.
Quote from a story on changes at the U of Chicago that notes they are "pausing" doctoral eduction in Classics, Comp Lit, Germanic studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Romance languages and literatures, and South Asian Studies.

Ik heb het goed en wil dat delen. Dus stem ik links waar rechts korte termijn voor mij beter lijkt. Dat ik het goed heb, is zowel geluk als hard werken. En dat geluk en die kans gun ik ieder. Daarom moeten we de verzorgingsstaat bestendigen.Daar plukken we allen de vruchten van.

Children will always need BOOKS to help them make sense of the world. I love the idea that children's books can be bridges connecting all children, crossing all barriers, helping them to imagine a better world – and to build it, one day. #books

🔭 🧪
A part of a nebula in space. It is made of layers of gas and dust clouds in different colours, from blue and green shades to pink, red and black, indicating light emitted by different molecules. The background cloud layers are thicker and puffier, though still translucent, and the upper layers are thin and bright at the edges. Behind the clouds are very many small, mostly orange and some blue, stars.
