Precisely why we drafted this on behalf of @modernlanguage.bsky.social. Ed tech providers (like Canvas) need to take the lead in cutting this off at the knees. Professional organizations and our institutions can’t do it themselves. cc @annamillsoer.bsky.social www.mla.org/Resources/Ad...

When I think about how exquisitely careful NEH staff were to be fair, impartial, and rigorous, and how much work people put into grants so small they’re pocket change…I just want to scream.

Dr. Hayden has been such a transformative and inspiring Librarian for the past decade. If you haven't had the privilege to spend time with LC staff, you may not realize what a sea change she brought to our national library. One of the all-time greats. A huge loss for millions and millions.

If you'd like to see all the canceled NEH grants at variance with agency priorities that allegedly will fail to inspire your confidence in use of taxpayer funds, go explore impact.ach.org. Then contact your representatives about this outrageous cull.

Given all the “data driven cost efficient” language in higher ed lately, I was wondering how big a bureaucracy would be needed to enforce 🎶everything old is new again 🎹censoring and intimidation tactics. This gives a pretty accurate figure: a lot.
