Hot take. The government isn’t subsidizing university budgets. Universities are lending subsidized expertise to research and development that contributes to the public good. It’s called partnership.

Many students were recently admitted to Harvard (to various programs), and even if Harvard gets an injunction the students may choose to go elsewhere thinking it’s risky and the may end up having to transfer. Even if Noem loses in court it has caused irreparable damage, at least for coming year 1/

say it again: 4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

This was an amazing event: celebrating my excellent colleagues in the UIUC English Department 🥇🥇🥇 Maybe Shelley’s banned poem “England in 1819” was quoted 😭 Maybe the words “darkness” and “storms” came up a lot in the speeches ⛈️ But we are all still working very hard to do our best ♥️

I'm just a small-town professor. I'll never be a provost or chancellor. But here's some free advice: we're about to hold the most watched college sports event in 🇺🇸. Every college president should be all over TV, at every game, explaining why the March Madness of federal budget cuts is a huge crisis.

This is not law. It couldn’t withstand legal scrutiny. Don’t comply in advance university presidents. General counsel, don’t panic. Do law, not vibes.

My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country. We don’t have kings in America – and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one. I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my obligations.

This lab is steps away from the press—I park right by the building every day. The richest man in the world is destroying American livelihoods & ensuring our country lags far behind the world in research & innovation
