— Incite! Women of Color Against Violence: The Revolution Will Not Be Funded, p. xii
Also timely, given that universities have been sites of struggle against the ongoing genocide in Gaza in retaliation for the Al-Aqsa Flood operation. The universities' implicit bargain with the capitalist ruling class of funding-for-workers, at the expense of an education-first model, has left these sites painfully vulnerable -- and sadly, largely ineffective at making material gains.

»The China Index seeks to establish an interactive world map that visualizes the PRC‘s evolving influence in different countries. The Index captures PRC influence across nine Domains: #Academia, Domestic Politics, #Economy, Foreign Policy, #Law Enforcement, #Media, #Military, #Society, and #Technology. Each of these Domains contains 11 Indicators corresponding to an observable phenomenon of PRC influence, and presents comparable data collected by regional partners through collaboration with local experts.«

Columbia University expels, suspends and revokes degrees of 22 students
Columbia University leadership made a series of concessions to the Trump administration on Thursday following an extraordinary letter that listed nine demands it expected the university to make if it did not want its federal funding to be pulled.Syma Mohammed (Middle East Eye)
It feels it’s illegal to have an opinion in academia, the ultimate place to form new ideas and opinions.
The most direct way for #highered and #academia to hit back is through military contracts and biotech.
Basically, R1 schools would need to halt all cooperation with the government and starve them of tech transfer and technical competencies they need to maintain national security and compete with rivals.
Ask Americans, would they like to see China vault head ahead of them and assume the mantle of global hegemon because Trump wanted to own the libs?
If #academia and #highered do not QUICKLY develop a coordinated strategy of resistance, then MAGA will pick them off one by one.
“Half of this stuff you can’t just do and the other half is insane,” said Joseph Howley, a professor of classics at Columbia. “If the federal government can show up and demand a university department be shut down or restructured, then we don’t have universities in this country.”

They told him, your choice, die alone or with your family. Choose where you want to be bombed.
They killed him and his family.
All he did was read and teach literature.
And speak the truth.

I am here to stay in touch with – and share – news about #science and academic life. That's why I chose #Fediscience as my home server and will mostly contribute to the tags #academia and #academicchatter.
I am in my mid-thirties and live near Prague with my family. I enjoy reading #books and spending time in nature. Addicted to #coffee.

First, there's far more interesting history here than I thought.
Second, he takes us through a useful exercise. Consider the strongest historical rationales for tax-exempt university endowments and ask how well they apply today. You don't have respond as he does to conclude that we should be preparing our defense.

Hate Endowment Taxes? Reform the University
Universities are bracing for the second Trump administration, anticipating the most adversarial relationship between the presidency and higher education in American history.Gregory Conti (Compact)

My housemate and I had a conversation about how almost all these people in Australia who have apparently committed acts of terrorism are actually teenagers, and how that's something that needs to be looked at..
Well, today the Guardian is running a story, "AFP and Asio warn of 'shocking' numbers of teens in terrorism cases".
