The real story is pushed away in a mid/piece paragraph and does not get the same critical attention in the U.S. media.
“Like other universities, Syracuse is confronting a decline in enrollment of international students. Two years ago, 12 percent of the freshman class was from abroad; in September, international enrollment dropped to 5 percent. Chancellor Kent Syverud, who has led the school since 2014, said last September that the drop was attributable mainly to challenges in students getting visas. That represents a significant revenue hit because most international students pay the full $66,580 tuition.”

As the people in power destroy the mechanisms that generate inspiration in the natural world, rest assured that nothing could stop me from continuing to be a bit of a psycho on behalf of nature. If I can get more funding I'll continue empowering other nutjobs to do this work alongside me.

My kids are used to dad traveling, and now he's staying closer to home while my work ramps up. So it's my turn to get dropped off at the airport, and it always surprises me when they cheerfully grab their pillows and drag their blankets to the car at 5am, just to see me off. Never gets old. ✈️

We’re close to the end of our fundraiser and still haven’t met our goal — we need ~$4k in four days. Frankly: I’ve used… a lot of personal funds to keep us afloat over the years between Kickstarters. I now have a child who’ll need daycare. I won’t have enough left over to bridge khōréō’s gaps.

A+ correction.
Correction: In the previous edition of this newsletter, I characterized The WaPo’s removal of writings by a racist right-wing author as a black eye for the opinion section’s editor, Adam O’Neal. It turns out, however, that O’Neal has no oversight over the Ripple vertical, which automatically publishes pieces from partner outlets. Apparently, the section bizarrely has no editorial supervision? That doesn’t sound great. In any event, we regret the error.
