In the year of our Lord 2025 I just overheard a docent say “Back in those days, south of Jacksonville was no man’s land. There was nothing there. Just snakes, Indians, mosquitoes, stuff like that.”

Boards of Trustees ***LIKE*** the Trump demands. They ***AGREE*** with them.
They like the idea of putting the screws on activist, lefty, and Muslim students. They like the idea of a whiter student body and conservative curriculum. They want these things and think $200 million is a fair price.

Getting a lot of replies along the lines of "oh, you rube, you still think the law matters" and it feels strategically foolish to just concede that it doesn't. Contest everything. Expose the hypocrisy.

Marta soloing down the field, taking on three outfield players and the keeper. That’s why she’s the GOAT.

The attacks on public higher education began decades ago across the board as state legislatures reduced support initiating a spiral of tuition increases, expansion of student loans, increasing uni dependence on grants and donors need for attendant admin. We are reaping the bitter crop.
Attacks on public universities are sometimes cast as a red state affliction, but one of the core attacks — on the state funding base — is most certainly not limited to red states, and it’s really a race to the bottom across the country.
What the hell are the Connecticut legislature and Governor Lamont doing? This is bad for our state. Write to our leaders in Hartford now. ctexaminer.com/2024/02/04/u...
