The Columbia settlement is an “astonishing transfer of autonomy and authority to . . . an administration whose disdain for the values of the academy is demonstrated anew every day.” New @knightcolumbia.org analysis of the Columbia settlement, just published. knightcolumbia.org/blog/what-th...

Acting President of @columbiauniversity.bsky.social Claire Shipman why are you lying to yourself and us like this Your capitulation doesn't protect independence at all--it imperils it

Screenshot of beginning of an email just sent out by Columbia, reading as follows:

Dear members of the Columbia community,

Columbia University has finalized an agreement with the federal government, ending a period of considerable institutional uncertainty. This agreement resolves multiple federal agency investigations and protects Columbia’s academic mission, research enterprise, and independence. The resolution will allow the University to move forward with clarity and focus—returning our full attention to the work of teaching, discovery, and public service. It will also enable all of us to turn our attention to mending and rebuilding our community.

Today @zachmortice.bsky.social has an update on the ACSA's decision to nuke its own flagship journal while exercising the last acceptable form of racism in America (anti-Palestinianism). As he notes, they even hired a GOP/RJC law firm to justify their decision. www.archpaper.com/2025/04/jour...

GSAPP tends to self-identify as powerless small fry within the larger Columbia picture but it seems to me that we, specifically, have some serious reckoning to do. www.normanfinkelstein.com/letter-from-...

Hard, but necessary. It’s been a privilege to work with this board; among the most principled, generous, kind, brilliant, just, + fiercely tender people I’ve met. Looking forward to building platforms, institutions, languages, potentials + possibilities that have these values and voices. Stay tuned.

Spent parts of my career thinking ACSA/JAE wasn't for me, but for the past four years (thx to Nora Wendl / McLain Clutter / great editors + board), JAE has been one of the best journals going. ACSA hasn't "protected" anything—they've unmade it with their own hands. www.archpaper.com/2025/02/acsa...

Another hour, another call for another conference about teaching with AI. I am so supremely annoyed and bored and 💔 by this reactionary obsession: what a waste of opportunity to think about infinitely more constructive, convivial, empowering, life-affirming and existentially consequential things

Hologram professors assign AI generated “podcasts” to students who use AI transcription to feed them into ChatGPT, which completes the assignments thereafter submitted to a plagiarism checker, after which they are auto-scored according to a curve indexed to the US News rankings algorithm.

It is worth stating plainly what happened at Columbia: the raid was l the product of collusion between a university administration and rightwing politicians to suppress politically disfavored speech. I wrote about the mass arrests at Columbia: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
