This is 10-12 tenure-track assistant professors’ salaries at many places. A whole academic program’s worth of money, pissed away, In Times of Austerity, on rent-a-cops going after students who dared speak. Nobody behind this should have a career.
The University of Michigan spent $800,000 hiring private investigators--one of whom FAKED A DISABILITY--to surveil anti-genocide protesting students. I'm speechless.

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year
And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor
And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender
just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns

Whatever the immediate fallout of the scandal, what is going to stick around is the impression it gives, of hapless idiots doing ridiculous things. And I think that seriously reduces the appeal of capitulating to these jokers.
