I teach (at the UMass Lowell) and study culture of the last 250 years or so. I also read a lot about econ, politics, psych, philosophy, digital humanities, and pedagogy. Author of _Fever Reading_ and, soon, _Chaos & Cool_ about the NYC underground c.'63-66
WH speaks of fed funding to Harvard as "gravy train." More accurately research is a successful partnership. Harvard commits a lot money along side fed money. See those numbers on NSF site: ncsesdata.nsf.gov/profiles/sit...

Rufo here suggests that universities freeload on federal grants. That’s nonsense. The U.S. research system—the best in the world—is a partnership with the public. Universities put up serious money too. No free ride here, just a massive return for the American people. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/p...

Superb annotated bibliography on race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality that I've circulated to my students for use in their final papers/projects. I encourage you to do the same. Thanks Trump administration!
