“The workers and the unions, faculty, students, staff are leading and developing the fight in how to respond to the Trump administration, and we’re sort of dragging the universities along with us, slowly,” said Todd Wolfson, the president of the AAUP.

Important @insidehighered.com article by Julie J. Park www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

This is what we’ve come to, and so quickly.

Elon Musk might be cutting government spending, but not on his own projects — billions in extra federal money is likely headed toward SpaceX, thanks to policy changes that will make the world’s richest man even richer. A NYT investigation examines the Trump-era shift toward SpaceX nyti.ms/4kPE8VJ

THESE ARE THINGS WE NEED TO BE TALKING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT. As @hcrichardson.bsky.social & I discussed our movement has to come to understand itself as proud American patriots defending the Constitutional order & our great nation against an unprecedented attack - @simonwdc.bsky.social 12/

Here, I explain how the February 14 "Dear Colleague" letter is a widely expansive distortion of the court’s ruling in SFFA. Institutional responses should remain focused on areas that the Supreme Court addressed and not expand to those clearly outside its purview. www.chronicle.com/article/hitt...

Worth the listen!!!
