UT President interfering with faculty tenure. Just the latest egregious example of administrator overreach and political capitulation. Non-paywall follows.

What do you suppose would be left of the American socialist tradition, if historically we'd limited immigration to what "our political culture can absorb"?

This piece is phenomenal. Someone contact Nathan and publish it soon.

Thrilled to have this paper out in the world. We can't restore democracy without restoring faith in its ability to deliver for people. Public options are part of the toolkit we need to do that.

The @uofcalifornia.bsky.social is developing new ways to pit #highereducation workers against each other: 1) put faculty on management bargaining teams; 2) require teachers to pick up the work of striking TAs and graders; 3) make faculty collect TA/RA timesheets; and 4) offer $ for adjuncts to scab.

🚨We analyzed 138 million geocoded property tax records to quantify how municipal boundaries spatially overlap onto economic segregation in every US metro area—creating disparities in localities’ ability to fund public goods. And we made an interactive map of our results! [1/16]

BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!! We were granted our preliminary injunction! @aaup.org

The President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, PPFP, has been a jewel in the crown for faculty development and recruitment at the University of California for years and the results have been an expanded faculty with almost 100% tenure rates — unprecedented success.

This article presents the end of the PPFP as a done deal, but it’s not—until the chancellors’ meeting this afternoon.

UC to Stop Funding Systemwide Postdoc Program

Established in 1984 to encourage women and minority Ph.D.s to pursue academia, the program has attracted right-wing criticism for prioritizing diverse candidates.

I am very concerned about anticipatory compliance at UC. Provost Katherine Newman has opted to defund a critical program called the UC Presidents Postdoctoral Fellowship (PPFP). This incredibly selective postdoc has provided a route to UC faculty for many of my most valued colleagues. +

The UC President axed a signature part of our Presidents Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP). UCOP cites the budget, but PPFP is a key program the Trump admin is threatening us over. UCOP is capitulating to Trump's threats, piecemeal. Ominous, worrying. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...
