America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Why does this feel like trade war, university edition?
⚠️ Effective Monday 2/10/25, NIH indirect rate capped at 15%. Applies to existing & future grants.

Is this the break the glass moment for university administrators who have been silent so far about the attack on science?

I think a pretty strong case could be made that CUNY is in fact the preeminent and most important American university system.

The Graduate Center, where I sit, is in better physical shape than most of CUNY, although a far cry from Princeton. (I don't care) But even elite campuses like Hunter, which are fabulous engines of social mobility, are shockingly under-maintained
I was the external reviewer for CUNY Brooklyn's political science department a decade ago. The contrast between the incredible students, largely first generation, making a better world for themselves and peers, and the rotting facilities they were taught in by overworked professors was remarkable.
