wanting equality and wanting proximity to whiteness are not the same and it is imperative that y'all learn the difference!!!

When I was a kid, the last days of school were spent dreaming about how we'd spend summer vacation. What did we call our summer list of fun and challenging things to do? - because Bucket List wasn't part of my vocabulary then.

Upholding White Supremacy will not protect you (or your family/community) from White Supremacy's cruelty. Ignoring White Supremacy will not protect you (or your family/community) from White Supremacy's cruelty, either.

But look at how many people will suffer from canceling that grant. At 94cents, it's hella cost-effective for the real goal of this administration

"Many of the NIH cuts were listed as yielding little or no savings. One UC Irvine grant supported research into HIV stigmas. Its cancellation saved the federal government 94 cents, NIH data shows." www.notus.org/health-scien...

The Trump administration pulled around $34 million in HIV-related grants.

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.

We @chronicle.com reported on Friday that applications for F31 diversity fellowships had been withdrawn. Now, multiple scholars tell me their applications have been re-assigned to their original study sections, in a reversal of instructions NIH officials gave reviewers last week. #AcademicSky

‘We’re Being Punished’: NIH Tosses Some Grant Applications From Minority Researchers

The sudden withdrawal affects early-career scholars who applied for a prestigious federal grant with a diversity notation — flagging that they came from underrepresented backgrounds.

Putting applications on the bottom of the stack because you "might not be allowed to review them" is a classic example of "obeying in advance". For anyone in a similar situation, Do Not Do That. Force them to state explicitly that they want these things done. That creates grounds for appeal.

Thanks to all of you amplifying this appalling decision, there is now a very helpful article in @chronicle.com. If you have institutional access, send it to your member of Congress. (I know this may be overtaken by the indirect cost issue but we can push on both.) www.chronicle.com/article/were...

Hoping this can get more attention since it's so obviously a resegregation attempt. The NIH/biomedical science are not my world so a broad cc to @drugmonkey.bsky.social @kendrawrites.com @tarahaelle.bsky.social @wordyard.com @alondra.bsky.social @costasamaras.com @davelevitan.bsky.social

I am obviously aware of how the Trump EOs are an Orwellian outrage to language, but I still think it is valuable to compare their real-life actions to what they wrote down! That is one way that accountability works!

This is especially important in light of @jamellebouie.net's post today. This is explicitly an effort to re-segregate science. There is no reason these applications couldn't have been considered in the regular pool - the criteria are the same. bsky.app/profile/jame...

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

Update: They were removed from our reviewer assignments completely. I'm so sorry to all those graduate students.

Anonymous to protect the identity of the NIH employee I spoke to...I am on study section next month to discuss F awards. We were just instructed to put the F31-Diversity applications on the bottom of our priority list for review because there is a chance we may not be able to review them. My heart is breaking for the grad students and their mentors that put so much work into these just for them to be disqualified and thrown out.

I don't understand this level of gymnastics. But let me also be clear, I know this reactionary behavior ALL to well: it's the "wait and see", "I need more facts/information" response. I'm amazed (& frustrated) when I see folks giving benefits of doubt to harmful systems. Anyway, carryon

One of the best things I ever did was train my students in "managing me to help me meet their needs". For example, if students need a Letter of Rec, then they know they MUST schedule an appointment with me to ensure I write & submit it in time.
