Most incredible about this is that IU-Bloomington has long been the no. 1 university in the world for teaching Asian languages and cultures, with many programs found nowhere else.
They're slashing many of IU-B's most distinctive programs with zero thought or debate. They probably don't even know.

Bloodbath in Indiana higher ed as public colleges and universities ordered to eliminate 20% of all degree programs, apparently based purely on student demand (=enrollments) and not any rational calculation of need or value.

According to a 2021 report, the University of California system:
• generated $82B in economic activity in California
• supported 529K jobs in the state
• generated $21 in economic output for every $1 received
Public divestment from higher ed makes no sense, even in the narrowest economic terms.

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university.
University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

I am Jewish.
I have spent literally my entire life on university campuses.
I was the child of two Jewish professors.
Since kindergarten I have spent exactly one year as neither a student nor a professor.
I have, on occasion, experienced antisemitism. But never on a university campus.

Stopping Excessive Market Power Before It Grows Into Monopoly
The Robinson-Patman Act is mischaracterized as punishing low prices. It’s actually about preventing powerful monopolies that raise prices in the future.
