Most incredible about this is that IU-Bloomington has long been the no. 1 university in the world for teaching Asian languages and cultures, with many programs found nowhere else.

Bloodbath in Indiana higher ed as public colleges and universities ordered to eliminate 20% of all degree programs, apparently based purely on student demand (=enrollments) and not any rational calculation of need or value.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

I am Jewish.
I have spent literally my entire life on university campuses.
I was the child of two Jewish professors.
Since kindergarten I have spent exactly one year as neither a student nor a professor.
I have, on occasion, experienced antisemitism. But never on a university campus.

Stopping Excessive Market Power Before It Grows Into Monopoly
The Robinson-Patman Act is mischaracterized as punishing low prices. It’s actually about preventing powerful monopolies that raise prices in the future.
