The university refused to make changes it said would "dictate what private universities can teach" and "whom they can admit and hire," among other things.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Attended a panel event put on by our AAUP today about authoritarianism and universities. The panelists had expertise on past and present authoritarian regimes from around the world. Big takeaway from all of them: universities capitulating to early requests didn't save them from further crackdowns.

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct." Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.

That other shared war plan, in case you missed it: in 2021 Vance gave a speech in which he declared: "we have to honestly and aggressively attack the universities in this country... professors are the enemy." www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcE2... #academicsky

As a Jewish faculty member at one of these institutions, I am saying right now, in the clearest tones possible: not in my name. This violent exploitation of Jews as an alibi for achieving Fascist ends is itself textbook antisemitism.
