My university has created a sexual misconduct training that all employees are required to complete. It is voiced by an AI, completely-artificial-sounding voice. 😐

Horrifying Canadian higher ed news: York University, one of the country’s major R1s, is apparently suspending admission to a number of key programs (including GWS, languages, classics, and enviro biology)—very likely auguring cuts. This appears to be straight out of the West Virginia playbook.

Government pages are disappearing from the internet. It’s horrible, and people should post about every page they see gone. Here is my in-depth report on OPM’s anti-trans purge, a 5p deadline for removing so-called “gender ideology” — and even the word “gender” — from gov’t sites.
