Which just shows that all science is political and in particular language documentation

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

What campus authority should students contact if they are contacted by ICE? What Chapter Leaders Can Do Now 1. Provide to faculty any campus plan or policy and any campus authority contact. 2. Create a list of immigration attorneys who can be contacted in case of emergencies day and night. 3. Distribute a family preparedness plan template to your members. Example: aaup.org/ILRC-plan 4. Conduct Know Your Rights sessions for your members; these do not have to be done by an attorney. Recommendations for Organizing on Your Campus Engage members via a petition, open letter, high-participation meeting, in-person demonstration, or other collective action to demand that your campus administrators: 1. Not comply with ICE to detain or deport students, faculty, or staff unless legally required to do so. 2. Ensure that noncitizens understand the difference between an …
