"We must not allow these attempts to control what can be taught, studied, or spoken on our campuses." Joint statement on "compact" by student leaders at targeted institutions. Well done.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.
Homes flooded in Kipnuk Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm A small blue house has been blown onto its roof

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

If highly selective universities, meaning those that admit <=10% of applicants, selected only on HS GPA, 63% of incoming students would be women. Wouldn't change much if considered test scores.

Trump's "compact" would hurt young men, and esp. young white men.

I doubt Linda "A1" McMahon knows this.

Motivated reasoning is very powerful in economics. But focused and creative empirical research wins.

We just spent 6 months to add 1 figure to this paper. Some people said, "Couples aren't prioritizing men's careers. Men just have better earnings opportunities when moving."

Earnings effects of moves for couples on the left, singles on the right. Negligible gap between single men and women.
Event study coefficients that show that men's earnings rise more than women's among couples following a cross-commuting zone move (left panels). The pattern is muted or reverses among single men and single women (right panels).

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

This is a must-read for anyone reporting on the Trump regime's proposed deal with 9 universities. Conclusion: "Universities’ only proper response to this “compact”...is to offer absolutely nothing." Don't miss the speculation about why these 9--prestigious enough but potentially soft targets.
