Northwestern University law profs argue that NU's "deal" with the Trump admin violates the First Amendment and federal antidiscrimination law.
Moreover, the grant freeze Trump imposed on NU was unlawful and should have been challenged in court.

Tips on cradling precious archival books at home if you don't own fancy foam wedges! (Katie is my archives guru)
It's my time to shine! My lo-fi solution is to use towels or similar and roll up. Another towel can be put down to protect the spine.

Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.
