Universities need to speak out about this and push back. It’s an assault on due process, and an assault on higher ed, that will make us stupider and less secure in the future

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Their incompetence with the Harvard negotiations is bad enough, but imagine what happens when the Trump admin sends demands they weren’t supposed to send to, oh, I don’t know, Iran, or China.

The climate emergency is ongoing, the emergency of ICE agents snatching our neighbors off our streets and sending them to gulags is, if not new, newly intensified. Hit the streets this weekend. NYC friends: Saturday, noon, Bryant Park

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

So turns out Columbia has also joined this lawsuit on IC rates, but weirdly (stupidly in my view) isn’t advertising it widely. Not sure if this is strategy or just piss-poor PR

Columbia’s latest statement. I give it an A- (big points for improvement over recent statements, but still room for improvement).

Fight fiercely, Harvard, fight, fight, fight! Now will others have the courage to do the same? Looking at you, Columbia

Brief from the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and more than 80 universities says arrests and deportations of student protesters create a “climate of fear” at universities across the country. This is a big deal—the first time universities have weighed in. knightcolumbia.org/documents/eh...

Glad to see institutions starting, finally, to speak up. This from AAAS, not exactly a fount of radicalism. More of this from everyone please.

Very happy to have been part of this workshop. (Less happy that it has taken my 25+ hours to get home from Iowa City!

Things are so fucked up right now I couldn’t think of an April Fools to play on my family that would be funny instead of scary. But thank you Cory Booker, and voters of Wisconsin, for giving me hope.

Was really hoping for her sake and Columbia’s that Katrina Armstrong quit because she was sick of this shit, but this sure looks like she was forced out. This is about to get (even) worse.

As universities increasingly make decisions that make their students less safe and that compromise academic freedom, I hope their alumni remember that they can do something about it -- through their voices, their actions, and their wallets.
