So much dystopian nonsense. Ugh.

Is there an appeal? You can cite discrimination and bias. Eoe? ACLU? Your work is smart and needed!

Are NSF grants getting terminated?? Had not heard that yet.

carlbergstrom.com•80 days ago

Yes. Our DEI-focused grant was terminated. My other one is untouched as yet.

msier.bsky.social•80 days ago

Awful

Does your institution plan to contest the termination, on the grounds that promoting STEM participation by women and minority populations is congressionally mandated for NSF and cannot be dropped as an agency priority?

antsara.bsky.social•80 days ago

NSF in particular seems like the best case for ultimately prevailing in court, given how clear the status mandated are going back.many decades (eg America COMPETES Act and prior).

antsara.bsky.social•80 days ago

Statutes, not status.

3/3 Laying the groundwork through an appeal using the award terms and conditions process feels like an important first step.

msier.bsky.social•80 days ago

Yes UW should do this
