Michigan watching Columbia give in and continue to get attacked:

It might work for us meme:

University leaders often think giving in to tyrants will protect them from further attacks

Well did it work for those people?

No, it never does, I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but..

...but it might work for us.

“For all this talk about free speech, this is direct censorship of scientific research.” Misinformation researchers are being investigated under a fake “censorship industrial complex” narrative at the same time as the govt is literally censoring scientific research. Free speech warriors indeed 🙄

Some people’s research will be flagged and then will move on with clarification. Other people’s research will be flagged and… it’s done. The differences in who those people are will not be random.

Almost 20 years ago, a doctor on TV was asked, "Isn't 12 a little early for a kid to be deciding to transition?" And her response was, "It's old enough for them to decide that it's not worth living anymore if they can't." That was the only argument I ever needed to hear about gender affirming care.

I would add that rejecting "viewpoint diversity" is the entire point of the academy. We evaluate the value of ideas, and drop charlatans claiming global warming isn't real, discrimination doesn't exist, or vaccines cause autism. They've lost in the "marketplace of ideas" so are rigging the game.

While NIH’s total spending on research grants grew from $26.3 billion to $43.7 billion between 2013 to 2023, the % spent on women's health dropped from 9.7% to 7.9%. And so we still don't have cures to common conditions like endometriosis. @meredithwadman.bsky.social www.science.org/content/arti...

It's print day! We coded sexual misconduct policies from 381 universities, documenting 1) a jaw-dropping 125 terms used to define sexual assault + 2) conflicting definitions for SA across + w/in policies. Implications for adjudication, SA knowledge are discussed. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

This from @jonathanecollins.bsky.social looks great. Folks support teaching core ideas from Critial Race Theory—that racism is structural (and bad)—but oppose teaching “CRT” because policy makers tarnished the brand. This has broad implications beyond the case. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

People always use "diversity of thought" to justify toxic loudmouths, when the psychology research on diversity of thought basically boils down to "you need to silence toxic loudmouths and make a space so the marginalized can freely talk".

For the academically-minded, it’s worth revisiting writings on standpoint epistemology—it’s one of the core points about why marginalized standpoints tend to be better. Because you don’t just hold your perspective, you’re also constantly exposed to dominant perspectives.
