An article by my amazing colleagues. One thing to note is that most faculty are not on contract during the summer. This mobilization is focused on protecting higher education from long-lasting, even permanent damage.

Beyond the backlash: What evidence shows about the economic impact of DEI

Not shocked but saddened. Is there a database with a listing of canceled grants? Analysis of the list and the project abstracts would be helpful.
Here's a copy of an NSF grant termination notice that went out today. "NSF is issuing this termination to protect the interests of the government pursuant...on the basis that they no longer effectuate the program goals or agency priorities." Not subject to appeal. #HigherEd #AcademicSky
![Text of email: Dear [redacted],
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has undertaken a review of its award portfolio. Each award was carefully and individually reviewed, and the agency has determined that termination of certain awards is necessary because they are not in alignment with current NSF priorities.

NSF is issuing this termination to protect the interests of the government pursuant to NSF Grant General Conditions (GC-1) term and condition entitled Termination and Enforcement; on the basis that they no longer effectuate the program goals or agency priorities. This is the final agency decision and not subject to appeal. Costs incurred as a result of this termination may be reimbursed, provided such costs would otherwise be allowable under the terms of the award and the governing cost principles. In accordance with your award terms and conditions, you have 30 days from the termination date to furnish a summary of progress under the award and an itemized accounting of allowable costs incurred prior to the termination date.
Sincerely, [redacted] Division Director

Follow the money? It wouldn't be the first time that RT has funneled money to conservative activists (e.g., funding conservative influencers).
I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination.
He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech.
Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin.
So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

The Trump administration has revoked the visas of five international students on my campus (www.umass.edu/news/article...). Because of the government's secretive administrative approach, these revocations are going to suppress free speech amongst international students and scholars.
