It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

Not joking: has one reporter responded to his preposterous Sgt Schultz “I know nothing” schtick by immediately asking:

Trump, the President of the United States, told reporters “I don’t know what happened” about a military strike. Imagine any previous president saying that and getting away with it.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

To understand Hegseth’s announcement of impunity for misconduct, you must understand that Eddie Gallagher is the model. This is what he means by “warrior ethos.” Trump may have even selected Hegseth because of his similar appearance to Gallagher.

It’s useful to think about things like this in numbers of tenure track professors.
$33M is 358 assistant professors. Or about fourteen percent of the total number of full-time faculty at Michigan State.

He went 9-15 in two seasons, including 1-8 in the Big Ten this year. (ESPN first reported).

I saw Tom Stoppard once on the street and quickly explained who I was (he was friends with our Mom and our great aunt Margie) and he was lovely, and sent off a note to my mom telling her how charming I was. This story is to prove how KIND he was. And probs a good liar. LOL) @djrothkopf.bsky.social
Remembering the many kindnesses, humor and warmth Tom Stoppard offered my family and especially my Mom. And of course, his unique brilliance and courage as a playwright and screenwriter. A great loss.
