"instead of taking on this struggle — or even waiting for... court rulings—universities, including Stanford have preemptively begun removing language from websites, reviewing programs, suspending projects & shrinking grad admissions even though Columbia’s fate shows that compliance offers no safety"
Wake up and speak up Stanford (and all US universities)! stanforddaily.com/2025/03/17/i...

Trump's late Friday EO cutting the Institute of Museum and Library Services (which funds museums + libraries w/critical and carefully-reviwed grants) is PLAINLY ILLEGAL. Congress created the IMLS!

I know everything is on fire but please do not forget that people are starving, not because there is no food, but because that food is blockaded. Food. Is. A. Basic. Human. Right.
As prices soar and essential goods disappear, famine conditions threaten to return to Gaza following Israel's closure of border and suspension of fuel and aid delivery.

Progress but not finished
Key of return tatreez - in hopes that cease turns to peace turns to return turns to justice.

My response below to Qs for this article on “Private Schools Group Apologizes After Claims of Antisemitism at Event” in which my talk was one that made four Jewish students feel threatened bc I used the word genocide. Let’s unpack since they gave ADL the last word. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/15/n...
Postdocs are the easiest thing for uni administrations - low cost, low commitment, and being seen to be 'doing something' - but I will be thrilled if it opens up the doors and helps end the Palestinian exception to free speech.
Never lose sight of the long term goal - Tenure and Tenure-Track positions and opportunities/support for students and scholars from Palestine.

Decades-long political pressure to avoid studying or speaking out on Palestine within academia make it harder to fairly resolve Title VI complaints today. My blog post here: knightcolumbia.org/blog/title-v...
