NSF is still freezing grant payments because of Trump's executive orders targeting DEI, despite NSF's congressional mandate to weigh how grants will expand participation in science. What that means for scientists/science (with more detail than yesterday's radio story) www.npr.org/2025/01/31/n...

So angry about this. UW system head and president agree to cut 43 DEI positions, freeze new ones for 3 years, end a program to recruit minority faculty -- even though lawmakers don't have the votes to mandate it. Biggest profile in cowardice on this issue in the last 3 years.

There's only one rule for college presidents facing ideological control by the government: don't volunteer to be censored. Don't agree to something the legislature doesn't have the votes to mandate. That's exactly what the Wisconsin system has done here. www.wpr.org/uw-vos-reach...

The 3 victims of the UNLV shooting were all faculty of color. Because the murderer didn’t get the job he wanted. Absolutely horrifying and heartbreaking. There’s so much I want to say about this but I’m also at a lost for words. Stay safe y’all. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/unlv-...
