There's some intellectual work to do about the relationship between these proposed speech restrictions & the civility discourse higher ed admins are so into.

I’m in DC scheduled to give this talk today. But the organizers flagged slides in my deck that mention racism, structural gaslighting, New Jim Code and other themes that are off limits in the Land of the Free.

And the argument is predicated on Latinx students avoiding higher ed. It's largely racism.

You asked the other day about how Jews in Providence feel. Seeing our neighbors decide to claim the mantle of antisemitism does not feel very good. Why would you choose this response out of all possible responses to that post?

Which then provides the key circumstances for racial disparities in enforcement.

And therefore higher ed administrators think we should increase class sizes.

I think the thing most people don't want to deal with is that a number of colleges are communicating which constituency they care about rebuilding trust with. I would just prefer they said it with their whole chest and stop hiding behind euphemisms about the "public."

Look, I too wish there wasn't a jagged divide across our political culture. But right now, that divide is over questions like "who gets to be human?" or "is it OK to kill children if they live in the Middle East" or "should members of the administration be allowed to strip the government for parts"

leftists & nonleftists remember that Jew & Israeli aren't synonyms. That mistake in thought--which can be antisemitic or accidental--causes a decline in both the real & perceived safety of Jews in our community & in the world.

It is really important that people call out actual antisemitism where it occurs on the left and on the right. That doesn't mean living in fear. It does mean working in coalition with others to heal our broken world & build better life for everyone. And it is important that both

I feel safer in Morales's Providence. But I've experienced real antisemitic acts directed towards me in my life & I know what that looks & feels like. If I hadn't, I can imagine believing the propaganda about unsafety & becoming very scared.

This is a free PDF to my article about trauma-informed, survivor-centered teaching. It's all about how to talk about sexual violence with the assumption your class is full of survivors who are eager to have that conversation--as long as you can do it without victim-blame or rape myths.

This sort of policy denies agency to adult survivors, forcing them to participate in systems that are in many cases designed to protect offenders. Adults should be able to make choices for themselves about whether their traumas are broadcast to others.

I think this is only a small part of the question. Faculty can still have value even if the major they are specialized in isn't around. So who can we hire who will contribute to the overall curriculum? Who will be able to adjust as fashions change?

Student research is a direct contributor to student success, ROI, and workforce development & cannot happen effectively without research-engaged faculty. But administrators seem to have lost track of that (& even of the fact that grants bring in money.)
