Massive turnout for #wearedei today

Glad to see another #MichiganMedicine physician at the #DEI march today on the Diag. Huge turnout, I estimate at least 1000 people. (Including lots of seniors, disabled with wheelchairs, walkers and canes) and a very cute golden retriever puppy named Louie proudly sporting a pride flag on his collar

Kudos to my @umich.edu friends and allies for what looks like an amazing "We are DEI" march! They're sending pix! turnout looks huge!

Large group today gathering together to show support for DEI at Michigan!

ALL FOUR U-MICHIGAN FACULTY SENATE MOTIONS PASS BY LANDSLIDE MARGINS! @umich.edu faculty push back on Trump’s assaults on higher education and affirm commitment to DEI.

University of Michigan faculty approve Motion 1 — the Rutgers mutual defense compact!

Excellent, rousing speech. Courage and solidarity! Michigan ought to be right there with Berkeley.

🚨Here’s a list of just a few of the major pieces of misinformation Kennedy shared about autism🚨

People want institutions to stand up www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

The comments do not disappoint

1) Not to simply counter the recent comments of complete asshat—and apparent example of a merit hire—RFK, who’s most significant qualification is his last name, with an ableist example, but here’s a boy enjoying a triathlon. He’s also a tremendous artist, deep thinker, and future engineer.

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

Sports, political as always. Kerr’s father was the president of the American University in Beirut until he was assassinated in 1984. Kerr has skin in this game.

Ok, good job, Garber, but I really could have done without the word "private" in this passage. "No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue."

The White House is demanding the sort of racial quota system in hiring and admissions that only existed in conservatives’ minds, but for conservatives.

Coinciding with it's "No" letter Harvard has refashioned its university homepage into essentially an advertisement for the social benefits of university research. This is the current front page.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

From Princeton: “We believe it's important to defend academic freedom, and that's not something that can be compromised.”

Wow! Three scholars at Columbia, Michigan, & Maryland just introduced a measure of the partisan leanings of employers in the U.S. The data is constructed by linking voter registrations to online worker profiles. VRscores capture the political affiliations of 21.8M workers across 2.6M employers.

Love this! Saints DT Khalen Saunders hosting LGBTQ+ inclusive youth football camp. #pride

The stock market is so bad that Fox News removed the stock ticker that they’ve been showing for 28 years for the first time because they didn’t want their viewers to see the truth of what was happening in real time.

The New York State Education Dept will not comply with Trump’ DEI order. “there are no federal or state laws prohibiting the principles of D.E.I.,” Mr. Morton-Bentley wrote, adding that the federal government has not defined what practices it believes violate civil rights protections.

Faculty respond to @umich.edu's DEI decisions. With cameos by @scottlgreer.bsky.social @sbagen.bsky.social @soumya-goblue.medsky.social @jscarson.bsky.social, myself, and folks I can't find on here. www.michigandaily.com/letters-to-t...
