this would wipe out entire universities’ eligibility for funding
“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

Universities allow DHS to surveil football games along with campus protests. This is a (sadly a bit badly written) story about a hugely important topic. Faculty governance must request information on these collaborations on their campus.

I spoke with a grad student today who cannot leave the US. Her I-20 is good for five years, but her visa only for two. If she leaves, she needs a new visa. She has to apply in person, and it takes three months at a minimum. And a new visa would be for three months only, single entry. So: Impossible.

How did I get to close to Medicare age to learn the secret of the most succulent and most crunchy-skin chicken? I'm kinda mad nobody ever told me. I've been on the quest for the perfect roast chicken for three decades.

Chuffed to share that my @umich.edu faculty senate resolution asking for a proper AI strategy passed with 86% of the vote. Tremendous participation -- 46% of the faculty!
(the high number of abstentions is due to the fact that a whole bunch of people came solely to liberate us from CTP).

I keep telling people that the people pushing AI into our brains are the worst people on earth, but engineers tell me it's really useful to cut down on routine tasks, and that Grok sometimes tells Musk things he doesn't want to hear, so can I please shut up

Farhana Sultana is a tenured , full prof & a prominent critic of right wing supremacies. RW extremists are targeting her for exercising her 1A rights. Worse her institution has shamefully caved to political pressure and placed her on leave. An atrocious violation of academic freedom.
