Trump has vowed to crack down on universities involved in misinformation research, or what he dubs the "censorship cartel" - e.g. by curbing funds to those that have "flagged content for removal”, or legal threats
“I'm pretty fucking scared," one professor tells me.

Refusing to allow harmful information and propaganda is actually a good thing because too many people clearly lack the ability to think critically.
You felt that those who advocated the efficacy of masks & denied COVID would disappear due to a miracle should have been silenced then?
You have earned a follow with your comment.

Academic Research is international. Grants are independently funded. An American president can’t stop Academics thinking, writing, or publishing.
Also: Trump can’t read.
Academia held, and the press was useless.
I rest my case.
American degrees are 4-year degrees. If you admit a biochem major in 2024, you are obligated to maintain a biochem department through 2028.
Hiring faculty is a labor intensive crap shoot. Tenure advantages administrations, not personnel.
Think, kids.
Have you ever heard of criminals targeting college professors?
Mostly I hear about them committing crime: stealing money, dealing contraband, trafficking and so on.
Also: His son’s at NYU, ffs.
That’s what has happened to a lot of university academics in Turkey, and Trump seems to follow in Erdogan’s footsteps.
There will be no free press or TV. And no free speech.

"Trump, our Supreme Leader, wins again with just 90% of the vote in free and fair elections"
All the signs were there. He TOLD us he would.
Well done, America.
We’re about to become The Killing Fields.
I thought in my youth that we were inoculated by democratic institutions, but after 911 so much was dismantled in the name of security when I was a young adult.
Now I'm a marginalized academic- torn between safety and resistance...
Does it only apply to the far right?
Education becomes mandatory. Failure unacceptable.
That’s how you build dominance.
Why would you want to cut your nose off to spite your face?

Yale is not in this equation. It has billions in endowments. It’s a few hundred state universities and their secondary, tertiary campuses that run on state money. If orange brain dead scares state legislatures it’ll wreak havoc.
That’s a typical third tier state school, but we have cows not sheep. Some are just shocking hood schools.

Interesting to observe the difference in lede/tone/topic, there vs. here.
Are you being forced to remove anything overtly critical of the new regime?
its the way fascists control everyone..
fuck that shit this is no way to live..
Didn't read, behind paywall.
That’s a large stick to wield.
