"Vanderbilt is failing in its moral responsibility to push back against rising authoritarianism and political coercion."

My effort to convince Vanderbilt (and all universities) to take a stand for the rule of law, the Constitution, and our democracy.

A Bard College student was kidnapped by ICE and Bard’s administration is advocating for his release and has created a website to assist the rest of the community in joining them.

That’s what academic leaders should be doing for their students right now. www.instagram.com/p/DQKSTDJkeF...

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.
The University of Virginia has capitulated to Trump on transgender and race (affirmative action) issues.

The details are currently sparse, but reporting suggests they've agreed to define trans people out of existence and ban trans students from facilities.

Saw someone say Vanderbilt "rejected" the compact so I'm reupping that they very much did not. As the student newspaper said, at best, they failed to reject the compact. Students, faculty, and staff should act accordingly.
Vanderbilt has arrived, late to the chat, with this shambles of a response. While technically true, this is a clear abdication of any moral responsibility. They even work in a mention of their commitment to "institutional neutrality" later in the email.

It's more a situationship then a compact, says chancellor.
It’s unclear whether Vanderbilt University will sign on to a compact sent by the White House, according to a letter sent by Chancellor Daniel Diermeier to faculty and staff Monday afternoon.

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

I agree with Bluesky’s decision because the law is insane, but we need to find a way to help these guys out. They do great work.
BREAKING: BlueSky is blocking access to Mississippi.

This is the No. 1 platform for @mississippifreepress.org.

We ditched X for BlueSky early this year.

And now, at 3 pm on a Friday, poof.

I don't know what we'll do next.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
