I'm not going to post another whole thread on this but journalists need to take a serious look under the hood before they glance through this document and conclude that it looks mostly normal.

*It looks that way in order to fool you into saying that. That's the point.*

Joey Fishkin @fishkin.bsky.social · 6d
They folded the big First Amendment violations in with a bunch of other stuff, including things that are totally unobjectionable and that universities are already doing, in order to make the overall document read as reasonable to someone who doesn't know the ins and outs of it. Don't be that person.

"Trump's 'compact with universities is just extortion... the future of higher education in America requires that every university reject it."

Very good from UC Berkley law dean Erwin Chemerinsky.

Higher ed leaders should all do so, and donors, unions, anyone with influence should pressure them to.

First Trump blackmailed universities into suppressing free speech. Now he’s bribing them with taxpayer dollars to enforce his agenda. Corruption and authoritarianism, plain and simple.

No university should cave to this blatantly unconstitutional coercion.

This is part of a broader effort to use the power of the state to force all aspects of society to conform to MAGA values (Gleichschaltung). Accepting would be an egregious violation of academic freedom.

I just spent a week in Portland. The city was busy with tourists and locals enjoying late summer. A prosperous downtown. Factually, there is no observable evidence of a city needing military intervention. A reminder that this is not normal. Please pay attention.

NSF GRFP is out 2.5 months late w/key changes

1. 2nd year graduate students not eligible.

2. "alignment with Administration priorities"

3. Unlike prior years, they DO NOT specify the expected number of awards... that is a BIG problem.

One theory is that Trump is a shrewd wannabe authoritarian taking calculated steps to consolidate power

Another is that he’s always been thin-skinned and driven by personal grievances, but now has the powers of the presidency and he doesn’t care about the long-term damage to the country
