This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.
Excerpt from Rutgers University Senate resolution calling for a Mutual Academic Defense Compact. The excerpt reads: "BE IT RESOLVED THAT, the Rutgers University Senate urges the President of Rutgers University to formally propose and help establish a Mutual Academic Defense Compact (MADC) among all members of the Big Ten Academic Alliance; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, under this compact, all participating institutions shall commit meaningful funding to a shared or distributed defense fund. This fund shall be used to provide immediate and strategic support to any member institution under direct political or legal infringement;"

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

I still can’t figure out what’s in it for Elon/Trump to decimate NIH & the US research infrastructure & pipeline - is it just being anti-science? Anti-health? Some petty personal vengeance?

One more really important thing that IES does: It runs a program in Statistical and Research Methodology in Education that has generated MANY important advances, e.g., about identifying causal mechanisms in quasi-experimental studies, understanding heterogeneity of effects, etc.

From the org I work at (AIR) about IES cancellations:

"This is an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars, which have been invested—per Congressional appropriations and many according to specific legislation—in long-standing data collection and analysis efforts"

www.edweek.org/policy-polit...
Dana Tofig, a spokesman for the American Institutes for Research, an education research organization that holds many contracts with IES and the Education Department, said that IES has issued notices of termination for convenience on multiple contracts, including those dealing with evaluations of federally funded programs and education statistics. “This is an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars, which have been invested—per Congressional appropriations and many according to specific legislation—in long-standing data collection and analysis efforts, and policy and program evaluations,” Tofig said. “These investments inform the entire education system at all levels about the condition of education and the distribution of students, teachers, and resources in school districts across America. Many of these contracts are nearing completion and canceling them now yields the taxpayers no return on their investment. If the purpose of such cuts is to make sure taxpayer dollars are not wasted and used well, the evaluation and data work that has been terminated is exactly the work that determines which programs are effective uses of federal dollars, and which are not.”

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

This is a moral horror and a five alarm fire.

To be clear, Guantanamo has always been a moral horror. But Trump is going to use it to sweep anyone he designates as an unperson / enemy beyond the easy reach of advocacy, legal support and media attention. Migrants are just the first on the docket.

Shaaray Tefila Manna for Chanukah: Because the 1st night of Chanukah falls on Christmas, we served Chinese food & donut holes. Kudos to our chef-in-residence Liz Alpern. And how cute are the takehome boxes with gelt, dreidels, & Pirket Avot fortune cookies? This is AsianJewish dream come true 😉

We had the first-ever “Cook the Book” potluck led by our chef-in-residence Liz Alpern at Temple Shaaray Tefila. We cooked recipes from Jeremy Salamon’s Second Generation cookbook filled with reimagined Hungarian Jewish cuisine. So flavorful. So good.
