Study finds “polarization surrounding universities’ societal roles” but its methodology defines those societal roles as not part of universities “core mission”. This reinforces the damaging narrative that DEI, for example, is in opposition to doing good research, not an integral part of that mission
The role of universities in society
Americans agree universities have a broader role beyond education and research but do not fully agree on what that role is.

Suggestions for resources on secondary data analysis? We're trying to support teams who want to make better use of big gov datasets. They need to explore but we also need to be careful of p-hacking. And then report appropriately to gov stakeholders. Suggestions for resources are appreciated!

Attacks on trans rights are often framed as efforts to "protect women."
But the reality is that such attacks only protect the patriarchy. Because enforcing a strict sex-based gender binary makes it easier to tilt that binary into a hierarchy where women are subordinate to men.

Thanks to the people planning to protest at the No Kings marches Saturday. I'm in Kenya so I can't go, but I support the protests. It's so important to show that many many Americans do not support what Trump is doing.
