More long term effects on our current tariff policies…

@taravanho.bsky.social is joining me at St. Mary’s School of Law!

StMU, in celebration, is launching a BHR scholars-in-residence pipeline program.

It’s open to pre-tenured folks who have been at a law school for three years or less and would like to develop research in the BHR field.

To be clear, @laraputnam.bsky.social , is being very modest, claiming to have β€œlearned” rather than β€œtaught” (which is what actually happened). I’m too in awe of her brain to be intimidated any more. I just sit back and watch her brilliance shine…

Also the student editors of Yale Journal of Law & Technology were mindblowingly fabulous to work with. Professional, meticulous...challenging us on all the weak points we were hoping no one would notice... By far the most substantive editorial feedback I've gotten in my gazillion ys of academic life

Our contention is that Section 230's protections of platforms vis-a-vis third-party speech can be compatible with platform premises liability w/r/t repeated, predictable harms in the engineered spaces platforms create & control. & we lay out various advantages premises liability jurisprudence brings

Universities in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union thought giving in to government demands would save their independence Before the Nazis, German universities were among the best in the world. Step by step, the universities gave up their independence until they were instruments of the state.

β€œWhen universities start regulating … what they teach, support and stand for – driven by fear rather than principle – they are no longer just reacting to political threats, they are internalizing them. … that may mark … the end of their academic independence.”

β€œBut every time something is renamed, it loses some of its original meaning.” - AW Tozer

I’ve heard folks talk about doing the work of DEI w/o calling it that. I understand why. But, this is my fear - that we will lose the meaning that made it important.
