She bet hard on the rightward shift being permanent and will be reluctant to backtrack. (And the board likely wanted an anti-woke figure). But glad to see such strong pushback to her fascist-friendly leadership.

“We’re constantly told about the importance of dialogue on this campus and listening across differences,” said Yale AAUP President Daniel Martinez HoSang. Meaningful dialogue must include faculty organizations, even when they disagree with university leadership.

White graphic with blue-outlined paper frames and the heading “Why We Want to Meet” in large blue serif lettering. Below, text explains that Yale AAUP chapter leaders have repeatedly sought meetings to discuss three faculty concerns: academic freedom protections, Yale’s negotiations with the Trump administration, and faculty representation in university decision-making. The Yale AAUP logo appears at the bottom, with a blue arrow pointing right.White graphic with blue typography and overlapping paper outlines. A large quotation reads, “We’re constantly told about the importance of dialogue on this campus and listening across differences…” Attributed to Daniel Martinez HoSang, President of Yale AAUP.

The plain fact of it is thus: the Trump administration wants to re-segregate higher education. It is a racist project straight-up-no-chaser. Accommodating any of this puts you on the wrong side of history, makes you a collaborator in this project. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Trump DOJ: Yale’s Medical School Has Way Too Many Black Students

The administration’s view is that the mere presence of students of color at Yale Medical School proves discrimination against white people.

Wow. Yale President McInnis caught on a hot mic speaking disparagingly of a student who asked her about democratizing Yale. '“Anyway, she was one of those students who shows up pissed off,” McInnis told Lewis, referring to a student who approached her at the anniversary event.'

I participated in these protests. If the photo panned out, I might even be in it. And even as an idealistic young undergrad, I was never as ashamed of my college as I am now that Yale is considering bowing the knee to Trump.

During the 1980s anti-apartheid protests on Beinecke Plaza at Yale then university president Benno Schmidt was out there among the students. Today Yale President Maurie McInnis remains in hiding from protesting students, faculty and alums. Come out come out wherever you are! photo: @gregpak.net

Hey, friends, here's the zine we handed out at the Democratize Yale teach-in on 9/1. Check it out and share with your pals at Yale! 🧵

Cover of a zine that says "Welcome to Yale! A University Without Democracy." The image on the cover shows protestors from various generations of Yale students standing in front of the iconic lipstick sculpture that used to stand in Yale's Beineke Plaza. Words "Democratize Yale" under the graphic.
