"Cornell is the fourth institution to achieve an agreement with the Trump administration to restore federal money, following Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Brown University." www.chronicle.com/article/corn...

No higher education sector should feel it is, or will remain, exempt from coordinated federal attacks on its institutions’ missions, foundational principles, and functions. That’s why a coordinated defense and counterattack strategy is necessary. It will take all of us. #MADC

Also, would nearly as much of the other action—including @standhighered.bsky.social @cadhe.bsky.social @wearehighered.bsky.social and much of the #MADC and governance body work—have happened without the existence of academic unions and the skills learned through union participation/activism?

Friends, this is simple: the so-called White House Compact undermines merit-based funding while distracting the public with progressive slogans like “free tuition” . In reality, it’s turning science into a partisan issue. JOIN TOGETHER TO say NO to it. #MADC #standtogetherforhighereducation
