2/ @stjohnslaw.bsky.social Prof. Taifha Alexander on how to wield accreditation, insurance pools & private-public partnerships can safeguard CRT & Democracy in higher ed. creative timely look at how to flip rightwing siege of our regulators and institutions. www.bu.edu/bulawreview/...
By requiring institutions to maintain governance structures that safeguard inclusive teaching, accrediting agencies can operationalize antidiscrimination and equity principles, such as the obligation to ensure anti-discriminatory learning environments, protect against racial harassment, and promote equitable access to academic resources. Examples of governance structures capable of withstanding external interference could include: (1) documented faculty control over curriculum development; (2) formal procedures for resisting statelevel censorship mandates; (3) transparent processes for investigating alleged violations of academic freedom; and (4) institutional review boards empowered to assess whether course offerings reflect commitments to both examining how racial power has accumulated over time to create the falsehood of a racial hierarchy and providing students with the tools necessary to address the most pressing racial issues of our time. These procedural requirements would safeguard teaching CRT and related frameworks that address systemic inequality by embedding institutional requirements into the decision-making processes that are reviewed and renewed through each accreditation cycle.

3/ where my tax folks!? @islandtaxprof.bsky.social & @brooklynlawschool.bsky.social prof. Dana Brakman Reiser unlock a troubling dynamic. Private uni’s non-profit status makes them *more* susceptible to authoritarian pressure. With ideas for how we might escape this mess. www.bu.edu/bulawreview/...
Simply put, universities face many of the same competitive pressures as forprofit entities while being expected to prioritize stakeholder commitments in ways conventional companies ordinarily are not.3 The unavailability of equity capital eliminates one threat, but it simultaneously heightens others. Institutional capture by donors or state actors represents the most salient threat in today’s political context. But mission drift, as universities scramble to find the capital necessary to thrive, can take many forms. To the extent that we expect universities dependent on government financing to preserve democratic values by resisting authoritarian interventions against students and faculty, the nondistribution constraint becomes both a vulnerability and a strength.

4/ Endowment time! @athenais.bsky.social dropping knowledge about those massive “rainy day” endowments elite unis keep growing. SHOCKER: the folks running endowments often don't care about the uni's educational mission. & @charlieeaton.bsky.social sighting. www.bu.edu/bulawreview/...
This confluence of events sharply exemplifies how these relationships operate and the profitable outcomes they yield. Private equity leaders are overwhelmingly graduates from elite institutions, and they are eager to seek business opportunities through service to their alma maters. These financiers “seek elite social ties . . . because they have a core business model that tries to use private information to outsmart public markets.”58 And elite institutions are happy to welcome these financiers onto their boards because their endowments profit from the very same set of opportunities.

5/ Timothy Kaufman-Osborn builds on "The Autocratic Academy" with a call *for* the corporate university. Absolute must read for anyone searching for alt to a university governance structure that renders us all subjects of unaccountable boards who value $$$ over democracy. www.bu.edu/bulawreview/...
To identify the American academy as democracy’s intended champion is to flatter our self-conception and, for that reason, we are quick to offer our assent. However, this representation is highly problematic for several reasons. My principal concern here is the antidemocratic organization of the university’s power to govern its internal affairs. That constitution, I argue, is essentially autocratic insofar as the final power of rule is vested by law in governing boards whose members are neither selected by nor accountable to those they rule. Moreover, although not formally mandated by the university’s constitution of rule, in practice, those appointed to these boards continue to be drawn chiefly from dominant elites outside the university, including patrons, plutocrats, and pals of those in positions of power.3

6 / @brsoucek.bsky.social is on vanguard of today’s academic freedom debates. He hits the beef that divides FIRE/Chicago and the AAUP on academic freedom, neutrality, DEI and boycotts. A must read for any student of today’s campus speech controversies. www.bu.edu/bulawreview/...
The academic freedom individualists in the FIRE/Chicago camp are surely right to fight (as the AAUP does as well) to protect individual professors’ freedom of teaching, research, and publication. But that freedom is not worth much if those professors’ departments get shut down, graduate admissions get paused, or their labs are not funded. If their individual academic freedom is to be meaningfully employed, faculty need a genuine voice in larger institutional decisions on topics like these. And this requires collective activity: that of the faculty (or its subdivisions) acting together as part of shared governance.

8/ my contribution w @isaackamola.bsky.social on how university & democratic leaders paved their own demise by fueling the Heritage Foundation’s gleeful effort to weaponize antisemitism against higher education writ large. It was all too obvious from the jump. www.bu.edu/bulawreview/...
For folks like Christopher Rufo, the right-wing activist who turned critical race theory (“CRT”) “toxic,”5 the campus unrest that followed Hamas’ attack on Israel was an opportunity to exploit.6 Within days, the same actors leading the charge against CRT had integrated calculated accusations about “antisemitism on campus” into their talking points.7 This pivot capitalized on real conflicts emerging on university campuses8 and a pre-existing academic and cultural landscape that cast Palestine solidarity as “presumptively antisemitic.”9 The rhetorical turn to antisemitism also harnessed a contingent yet potent alignment between far right groups, legacy Jewish organizations, Democratic politicians and university insiders—including certain prominent Jewish faculty.10

9/ the brilliant @carlissc.bsky.social on internal contradictions of US universities by look at faculty hiring: a performance inclusion that preserves institutional whiteness, elite networks, and gatekeeping norms. Perfect antidote for this week’s “woke 1” nonsense. www.bu.edu/bulawreview/...
Since 2021, the conditions surrounding hiring have changed. As the political climate turned hostile to DEI, universities became increasingly risk averse. States such as Florida23 and Texas24 banned diversity statements and trainings, while politically connected alumni and legislators began monitoring appointments for ideological deviation.25 Hiring committees now operate under explicit constraint: searches are canceled, language is sanitized, and raceconscious deliberation is reframed as legal exposure.26 The result is regression disguised as caution. The same gatekeeping mechanisms that once maintained exclusion through inertia now do so through fear. Every appointment decision is filtered through an assessment of potential controversy, transforming “fit” into a proxy for risk tolerance. Safe candidates— those with elite credentials and ideologically neutral portfolios—are favored over scholars whose work interrogates race, power, or inequality.

10/ Former Law School Dean Chip Carter urges us to go on the offensive: sue our institutions when they do Trump’s bidding. It's a call to change the cost-benefit calculus, which all too often rationalizes bad behavior that aids the regime and harms our communities. www.bu.edu/bulawreview/...
The preceding generalizations about administrators’ behavior and the competing imperatives they face are, of course, just that: generalizations. But they do help to explain why it would be a mistake to expect university leaders to be the primary protectors of their constituents’ First Amendment rights. Changing that dynamic will require bringing to bear sufficiently strong financial, transactional, opportunity, and reputational risks so that university leaders believe the balance tilts toward standing firm in face of the Trump Administration’s attacks. Litigation cannot be pursued solely for tactical gain, 26 but well-founded litigation that makes participating in or acquiescing to the Trump Administration’s anti-free speech crusade more costly for university officials can be a key tool for protecting freedom of speech in the university setting.

Jared Loggins: “Build something new from the ashes of this destruction.” That is powerful. We have to struggle constantly against resignation to the future that neoliberalism projects. I have to invoke Cedric Robinson here. “If we are to survive, we must take nothing that is dead and choose wisely from among the dying.”28 What seems to be at stake in the emergent forms of struggle is the claiming of some kind of collective shaping power—not just over the system of higher education but over our lives and worlds more broadly. “Another university is possible” and “another world is possible” go hand-in-hand.

12 / What’s tax-exempt status got to do with it? Randle Pollard explains why team Trump wants to leverage tax exemptions to coerce obedience. (hint: law ain't on their side.) New chapter in the right’s attempt to flip integration from legal imperative to illegal motive. www.bu.edu/bulawreview/...
The Trump Administration wrongly implies that an executive order can, on its own, revoke Harvard’s validly granted federal tax exemption. Such an implication overlooks judicial precedent, established in Church of Scientology and Bob Jones, which set standards for revoking tax-exempt status for actions deemed illegal or contrary to public policy. It also overlooks the Treasury Department’s procedures for revoking federal tax exemption, which require providing tax-exempt organizations with notice and affording them an opportunity to appeal through the IRS administrative appeal process or the federal judiciary. Most importantly, it circumvents the safeguards that Congress has implemented to guard against the arbitrary granting or revoking of federal tax-exempt status. The revoking of a university’s tax-exempt status through an executive order without providing administrative and judicial recourse violates the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause.
