Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Sara Whitmer

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

Dartmouth is OUT! Thank goodness... a friend at U of A and I have been playing "Who will be the last of the 9 standing?" and it's not gonna be us!

Dear Secretary McMahon, Ms. Mailman, and Mr. Haley,
I appreciated the opportunity to speak with you yesterday.
I welcome further engagement around how we can (a) enhance the long-standing
partnership between the federal government and this country's leading research
universities and (b) ensure that higher education stays focused on academic
excellence. As I shared on the call, I do not believe that the involvement of the
government through a compact--whether it is a Republican- or Democratic-led
White House-
is the right way to focus America's leading colleges and universities
on their teaching and research mission.
Our universities have a responsibility to set our own academic and institutional
policies, guided by our mission and values, our commitment to free expression, and
our obligations under the law. Staying true to this responsibility is what will help
American higher education build bipartisan public trust and continue to uphold its
place as the envy of the world.
We remain open to other ways to work with the federal government to enhance
higher education.
Best,
Sian Leah Beilock
President

Faculty, students, and staff everywhere should be proactively demanding that their universities reject Trump's Compact, which has now been offered to ALL universities. Make it clear to your administration what the costs of this compact will be. www.chronicle.com/article/dart...

Quoted article reads: "Kornbluth’s rejection of the current compact, Mitchell said, may have dashed hopes within the White House that the administration could secure agreements from its initial nine invitees. “My guess is that they decided, rather than to wait for a victory that’s not going to come, they sort of opened the invitation now.” News of a broader swath of institutions signing on could dominate headlines, he said, and “outweigh the defeat that they’re likely to suffer at the hands of the nine.”

Lynn C. Pasquerella, president of the American Association of Colleges and Universities, said she sees the open invitation as “an effort to see how much collective will there is to accede to the wishes of the president in this case.”"
