It’s now incumbent on all members of university communities to understand how the funding for institutions of higher ed works. This interview offers some insight into how complex these issues are and some strategies for protecting academic freedoms.
We've put together a list of resources on legislative threats to higher ed. Visit the site for tips for NEH grantees, webinar recordings, tool kits, MLA statements, and more. www.mla.org/Resources/Ad...
@barackobama.bsky.social calls on universities to remember that academic freedom might be a little more important than new wings and gymnasiums. 🩵

Princeton has announced that it is considering selling approximately $320 million of taxable bonds. The bonds are a way for the University to raise short-term funds. The major credit-rating agencies rate University bonds AAA, the highest level of creditworthiness.
Happy pub day to @forestissacj.bsky.social, whose new book GOOD TROUBLE tells the story of how the movement for Catholic civil rights in Northern Ireland was inspired and influenced by the civil rights movement in the U.S. www.derryjournal.com/news/people/...
More good news today.
At a time when we’ve all been feeling a lot of whiplash, this was a successful disruption. Perhaps even Good Trouble. (3/3)
Today, for the first time in weeks, Democratic leadership dominated headlines, and on an important special Election Day. Booker took up space and the platform available to him to name what America has been witnessing and feeling since January. (2/3)
I’m struck by criticisms of @booker.senate.gov ’s record-breaking speech that it still isn’t “doing anything.” This cynicism, while justified, feels misdirected. I read the intention of the speech as a disruption and an acknowledgement that the Democratic Party is broken and has work to do. (1/3)
Also? Really classy and thoughtful to thank the pages, door openers, and other staff.
One thing about me is that I love a Democratic filibuster.

This arrest is the latest in an alarming pattern to stifle civil liberties.
The Trump admin is targeting students with legal status and ripping people out of their communities without due process.
This is an attack on our Constitution and basic freedoms — and we will push back.
this will be excellent!
This is also true for womens/gender studies programs and student spaces like LGBTQ+ resource centers which arrived via not just scholarship but mass movements. While many programs and centers feel institutionalized now, attacks need to be historicized as attacks on the movements that birthed them.
For folks who don’t know, ethnic studies programs like African American/Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicano Studies and the like come directly from civil right era campus activism. Attempts to disempower such programs should be framed as attacks on civil rights same as much else rn.
Foreign students pay full tuition so that universities can give financial aid to students from the US.
This is some dystopian capitalism.
“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”
― George Orwell
This isn't going to get the attention of Columbia, but it's at least as bad: the University of Maine is having its funding cut off because the governor of Maine dared to challenge Trump.
The assault on First Amendment rights being jointly committed by the federal government & Columbia University are an attack on all workers who dare to protest, speak out, or exercise their freedom of association under the US Constitution.

Had the privilege of listening to @markhennessy.bsky.social speak today at @gihnyu.bsky.social about Common Ground from the @irishtimes.com. The project is an impressive display of journalism on an immensely complex topic, and I’m looking forward to reading more.
