Why did Indiana University attack and cut its own student newspaper? Well, in a twist of irony any English professor would call clichéd, it turns out IU did it because they were angry about the students' reporting on a FIRE report naming IU as the worst public university for free speech in the US.

Today in my class I talked about Rosemarys baby and curb your enthusiasm and the blank faces is how I know I’m getting old

Happy Monday, Canvas is down, no one in higher ed can do their work today 😄

Texas A&M’s President just removed a dean and department head from their positions after they supported a professor whose lesson on gender was challenged by a student. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...

In addition to general medical research, there are also local impacts to consider – like studies addressing Utah’s health disparities.

Hello baby buffalo and friends 🥹

The students are not pleased, to say the least 🙊 www.change.org/p/reverse-un...

This could be a big deal. In 2021, the Republican dominated Utah legislature illegally Gerrymandered Utah's congressional maps and cracked liberal Salt Lake County between all 4 congressional districts. Courts just ruled that map is illegal. A better map could give us a Democratic congressperson.

Guys, it might happen. Utah should gain +1 blue district 🤯

Don’t forget public transit

Listening to a young teacher talk about being hungover today, on day 2 of the school year, teaching a bunch of 7 year olds how to set up their computers. Someone please send this young lady liquid IVs and a coke.

I’m pretty sure this is just the ending of Eraserhead

Hello fellow sociologists, who else has FOMO from not going to ASA this year 🥲🥹🙋🏻‍♀️

Two months after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, in June 2022, Idaho’s trigger ban outlawing most abortions—one of the strictest nationwide—took effect. According to a new peer-reviewed paper study, Idaho lost more than a third of its OBs—94 of 268 total—afterwards.

Grad students! Take faculty up on these offers!

I don’t like this list—Let’s fire the people who made it!

"resolve dispute" is a bizarre way to describe extortion.

Pretty cool to see NPR do a housing story about Salt Lake City. Pretty depressing that it’s about our housing market being a disaster….

They’re crushing red states

The assault on higher education is not just about coastal elite schools. "Federal agencies terminated or were attempting to terminate more than 4,000 grants across over 600 institutions. These grants are worth between $6.9 billion and $8.2 billion combined." www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

Just increased my monthly donation to @kuer.org @npr.org and you should too!

Underrated comment for universities too

It always seems like those in education making the case that class size isn't an important issue are no longer in the classroom. Funny coincidence, right?

When it’s sooo expensive to go to work that faculty beg to teach their classes online 🙈 www.kuer.org/business-eco...

It should be embarrassing for an adult to admit they’re afraid of public transit 🤷🏻‍♀️
