It's time to start a thread on higher ed budget cuts announced due to actual and potential cuts to federal funding. Northwestern is placing additional scrutiny on all spending and trying to cut non-personnel spending by 10% this year.

Despite the incredible challenges facing refugees and resettlement agencies I am forever grateful for what folks shared. We learned about how they build partnerships to foster the post secondary pathways so desired by displaced folks. Free for first 50 downloads. academic.oup.com/jrs/article-...

They're dismantling the Institute for Education Sciences to create the illusion of meritocracy. Because no data means no evidence of systemic inequities.

Events in Washington are (rightfully) getting a lot of attention, but keep an eye on what is going on in states. There are a bunch of bills seeking to restrict campus activities and even tenure.

Excited to see this piece out. Building on other analysis, this work focuses on public institutions and how this might (we find that it isn’t) be connected to state political landscape.

I don't know if this is getting attention because ((waves arms)), but Michigan's Regents will consider defunding DEI tomorrow. Unlike the situation in Florida or Texas, this is under a board that is 6-2 Democrats.

When people ask me why I don't care about my h-index, citations, etc., I point out that racism means that's a losing game. Cause this ain't just in economics. www.nber.org/papers/w33150

These high childcare costs are pushing mothers not only out of the workforce but also--and maybe ironically--into political conservatism. Because moms pushed out of paid work often struggle with loss of identity. And because conservative Christian moms' groups often step in to fill that void. 1/🧵

Really loving #ASHE2023 president Ana Martinez-Aleman’s talk is calling for the field of higher ed research to move out of “our front yard” to consider different views to reconsider our well-worn intellect frames and social constructs.

My takeaway from this survey: it's hard to get college presidents to respond to surveys, especially those on sensitive topics sent out at the beginning of the academic year. This one got 136 responses, which is a single-digit response rate and likely not representative.
