This is why you’re the dumbest motherfucker alive if you’re an academic who tries to ‘address their concerns’ these people don’t want to have a principled conversation about the appropriateness of diversity statements, professor, they want to destroy your job. You cannot meet them halfway.
There is like some abstract notion that they are attacking universities because they want to pressure them over wokeness or whatever but that’s backwards. The base wants universities shut down. That is the explicit goal, they will tell you it openly if you ask them and listen.

The pact of the federal govt with universities was not a handout. It was a strategic decision to boost US leadership in technology, defense, and health. And it paid dividends. In tech, internet, in cancer drugs (for example), No other sector has invested in high risk high reward ideas like US govt.

Judge Session: I see no evidence of risk or danger of any kind. The court orders ICE to release Rümeysa Öztürk from custody IMMEDIATELY. She is free to return to her home in Massachusetts. Also free to travel within Mass and VT. I'm not going to restrict her travel, because I see no danger of flight

Just received the email that my recent appointment to a BSC, which was supposed to be until June 2029, was terminated effective immediately.
More political meddling at NIH:
I'm told that multiple (2-4ish) members of the Boards of Scientific Counselors, which oversee intramural research, have been kicked off the boards before their term expires.
No explanation given, but the thought is that these were folks who cared about DEI.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
