Thanks to our very wise Board of Trustees, one of the courses I normally teach (LGBTQ History), along with 431 others, will no longer count toward the fulfillment of general education requirements. Just another day in the “Free State of Florida.” tallahassee.com/story/news/loc…
Florida’s Chancellor of the Board of Governors on the law that forces us to add “Western canon” to our course descriptions:
I get the sense that many colleges and universities - and state govts and donors that fund them - would rather destroy their academic programs than let them be an example of a democratic institution. As usual it is the workers who care more for the institution than the admin
Survey finds advanced enshittification of academia and admin cooperation in it
It's no surprise that the institutions that promote critical thinking, a diversity of ideas, and access for all to the American dream would be early targets for Trump's racist, anti-education, anti-truth agenda. It's harder to control an educated citizenry. 1/2
Very frustrated by the folks who have decided to pick and choose which programs *really* do and don’t deserve to be on the list of majors up for review at UConn. Scarcity and consultancy thinking will be the end of us all. Save everyone. Fight for everyone. Otherwise we’re toast.
The full list of the 70 majors under examination for low enrollment at UConn: languages, a ton of ed, art, art history, environmental sci (who needs that? 🫠), social work, gender & sexuality studies, Africana, Lat Am, philosophy. So epic & obscene. nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/uco…
Real estate brokers and lobbyists are swarming to have city government agencies to fill empty office buildings and the Adams administration is signing up. Including trading in @NYCAging's rent-free office for new digs on Wall Street with a donor-landlord. thecity.nyc/2024/10/11/ada…
ICYMI: the AAUP's @AcademeBlog has a new series organized by @AnneliseOrleck1 focused on the recent repression we are witnessing against protests at US college & university campuses against the war in Gaza. Check out the first three installments in this🧵
Another scandal of the Mayor’s own making is hitting New York today, as rents are once again going up for 2.5 million stabilized tenants thanks to Adams' hand-picked Rent Guidelines Board. His policies are driving working families out of this city. We need a rent freeze now.
Here is a 🧵 those interested in the gory details of the @UofCalifornia Regents' vote yesterday to provide "market based adjustments" to UC executives, while refusing similar adjustments for its workers. This adds to this morning's reporting by @TeresaWatanabe at @latimes
Prof Robin Kelley is right:
TODAY: @UofCalifornia police want more military weapons -- pepperballs, sponge rounds, projectile launchers, drones. @UCLA is asking to double stockpile of some munitions, add 8 launchers and 3 drones. Regents' vote upcoming. bit.ly/4deXApY
Higher ed is under assault - budget cuts, Congressional surveillance, administrative surveillance and police presence - that it will soon be unrecognizable unless we organize. AAUP's new President Todd Wolfson @HigherEdLabor @AFTunion @UAW @SEIU @AFSCME are now united to fight.
“The fight for higher education is bigger than just us.” — AAUP president Todd Wolfson laying out a new vision for the future of higher education today in Philadelphia. @HigherEdLabor @AFTunion @NEAToday @UAW @SEIU @AFSCME @AFTHigherEd #defendhighered
My college put a message telling us not to print too many flyers “in line with our green commitments” in same update announcing AI program

What happens when you make a cop mayor of NYC? Police overtime goes from $4 million in 2022 to $155 million now. gothamist.com/news/nypd-over…
JD Vance talking about what he’s heard from his constituents has very much the same energy as when provosts talks about emails they’ve received from students.
"Since @NYCMayor took office, @CUNY has endured nearly $100 mil in city funding cuts. Even as city revenue projections have improved, his administration has doubled down on austerity, leaving more than 400 academic & student support staff positions at community colleges vacant."
What a diverse group of people who all share the same batshit views about higher ed.
Hail the Founding Class of '28 at @uaustinorg's 1st convocation! It takes guts to be the pioneering students at a new university. Thanks to Gov. @GregAbbott_TX for welcoming them to the Texas Capitol. And congratulations to my co-founders @JTLonsdale, @bariweiss & Pano Kanelos.
