So apparently faculty can no longer be trusted to make curricular decisions or to manage themselves, even though we've done so successfully (thought not easily) for 1,500 years. New bill would take faculty governance power away from the faculty.
Texas faculty testify against bills to screen universities’ curriculum for “ideological” bias

The cuts to Medicare, DHHS programs, and safety net are terrible. Given the wide spread suffering this will create, we may actually have a chance for a real national health system and single payer funding coming out of the ashes after the next elections.

Cool. My students this term in a pandemic arts class are designing their own memorials
A 25-foot, stainless steel monument, titled “COVID-19 Memorial Monument of Honor, Remembrance & Resilience,” will be built on Chicago’s Near West Side this year to honor those impacted by the virus. trib.al/gzH0pD4
Chicago will be home of global COVID-19 monument to honor victims, front-line workers
The illuminated, 25-foot stainless steel monument in the Illinois Medical District could be completed later this year.

1/2 Another peril to higher Ed is the upcoming demographic cliff-there are simply fewer college aged people than there used to be. To make up for the gap, universities depend on international students who would come here for world class education, usually in sciences.

Goodbye Lake Michigan. Hello Lake Illinois.
Gov. JB Pritzker on Friday took aim at President Donald Trump with a tongue-in-cheek campaign video proclaiming Lake Michigan renamed as “Lake Illinois” and annexing Green Bay.
