What does that say about the state of higher education when a 30-year-old traveling Black history museum-with 15,000 artifacts chronicling centuries of African American experience-is too controversial for a public…

I’m sick of it.

Texas universities deploy AI for course audits Records obtained by The Texas Tribune show how universities are using the technology to reshape curriculum under political pressure, raising concerns about academic freedom.

“At Texas A&M, internal emails show staff are using AI software to search syllabi and course descriptions for words that could raise concerns under new system policies restricting how faculty teach about race and gender.”

Black Farmers Mobilize to Protect Vital HBCU Scholarship Although the 1890 scholars program is reinstated, alumni and advocates are organizing to ensure the survival of historically Black land-grant institutions.

Such a viral program. Too many people forget that Black folks are farmers, black folks live in the rural south. While the program is here to stay let’s not fall asleep at the wheel.

Adding to my watch list! Thank you!
