In the name of protecting Jews, Jews have their funding cancelled, get kicked out of seminars, and are removed from leadership positions in Jewish Studies to be replaced by non-Jews.
Latest write-up about outrageous administrative over reach at IU. www.jta.org/2025/11/07/u...
In Indiana, a vaunted Jewish studies program is upended by red-state politics over Israel and speech - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
A leadership shakeup, a defunded graduate student and political pressure from above have turned a storied program into a flashpoint for Trump-era campus politics.

But I am really struck by the rapidity and scale of the government's retreat from its much more extensive and destructive list of demands that it tried to impose on schools at the start of this mess.
It would be far better if Cornell and other schools simply said "no."
But still, a notable shift.

There are bad things here, including the transparently bad-faith mess about reporting students races + SAT/ACT scores to the government so they can falsely accuse Cornell in the future of illegal race-based affirmative action (a move that imperils perfectly legal class-based affirmative action).

Maaaaaany graduate students at CSHL have stories. I'll send them your way.
I tweeted once about him and was immediately called out by our PR. They sat me down and told me they knew he was problematic but that he brought in too much donor money for us to say anything bad about him.

NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.”

I will keep making the point that all three of the most prominent abduction cases are of union members—Khalil is UAW, Öztürk is SEIU, Abrego García is SMART—but only two of the unions are fighting.

New story from me: Imani* was in class when she discovered a scholarship program she relied on had been shut down.
“I don’t come from wealth ... Ending the program puts a burden on individuals who don't have it like most of the wealthy people here at the University of Michigan"
“I don’t come from wealth ... Ending the program puts a burden on individuals who don't have it like most of the wealthy people here at the University of Michigan"
A scholarship program helped boost diversity at U of M. Trump’s DEI crackdown just killed it.
The University of Michigan Alumni Association has ended the LEAD Scholars program, a merit-based scholarship that worked to improve enrollment for minority students.

People fly vintage airplanes; perhaps one day they'll fly vintage spacecraft. Here's a concept for the 2100s: the Gemini Heritage flight. A fully restored Gemini capsule is mated to a more efficient Service Module (with upgraded safety features) and recreates a historical mission.
