#GWU had students arrested & barred from campus, sanctioned orgs, modified policies, closed quads, brought in extra security, & more that I say obstructed too much legit #speech. Even built an ugly fence in Trumpian style - maybe if they’d gilded it!
All called “no meaningful action” and demands for “immediate remediation … and related reforms.” Testing social sciences theory is tough but pretty tidy proof “anticipatory obedience” won’t save you! #law #academia #higherEd justice.gov/crt/media/1410936/

Ppl of Mastodon. Please help educate the normies about independent, small tech and self hosting. Not only fancy stuff like docker/VS etc and home servers, but cheap shared webspace online, small CMS, wikis, favourite federated or OS apps, (mine are Masto, Lemmy, Grav, Jekyll, Ghost and others). Introduce them to what is actually out here. Try not to expect total purity! They want to be free, not join a cult 😎😇

I'm involved now and then in hiring our department's sessional instructors (adjuncts, in the southern North American dialect). While there are always a few applicants who really have no business even thinking they could teach the course (often the same who argue they are "uniquely qualified"), a good chunk have CVs that are as impressive or more than many tenure-track colleagues. This isn't surprising (we all know the score), just always more than a little discouraging.

"Decolonisation is sometimes presented, not as an attempt to resurrect the dispassionate search for knowledge, but as a rejection of the idea of objectivity, which is seen as a sort of heritage of colonial thinking.

[but]

One can reject universal truths without endorsing relativism."

#AlexBroadbent, University of Johannesburg, 2017

The ConversationIt will take critical, thorough scrutiny to truly decolonise knowledgeCritical decolonisation means accepting risk of error. It means considering whether indigenous knowledge systems might contain truths that western science hasn’t accessed.

It's nice to get that number on the bell in ResearchGate with another citation. But honestly, it's much nicer when someone sends you back a thank you note for sharing a paper, even better if they have questions or something to discuss.
(Yes, #scientists, like everyone who writes, appreciate it when people tell them they read what they wrote, and are ecstatic when someone engages with it)

Cannot overstate how depressing and angering this is. We have everything to win if we fight back and everything to lose if we don't. (signed, a non-UC California fac member)

AP News · Trump seeks UCLA settlement of $1 billion to restore research fundingA White House official says the Trump administration is seeking a $1 billion settlement from the University of California, Los Angeles. The person was not authorized to speak publicly about the request and spoke on condition of anonymity. The Trump administration has suspended $584 million in UCLA's federal grants, the university said this week. On July 29, the Department of Justice issued a finding that UCLA violated the rights of Jewish students. The university has faced widespread criticism for how it handled a campus encampment protesting the Israel-Hamas war in 2024.
