Ben Lockwood, PhD<p>Fellow comrades in <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>academia</span></a> - there’s a very cool project launching called Science Homecoming, that allows you to find local papers from your hometown and encourages you to pitch them an opinion piece about the current attacks on <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> and <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/highered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>highered</span></a>. </p><p>I pitched a piece to my hometown paper and they got back to me in about 10 minutes saying they definitely wanted to see it.

Stephanie<p>My university applications were successful! I have two offers and am deciding between them. UNE is excellent for online learning, while Deakin is great with accessibility and based in Melbourne. Both programs are similar, though Deakin has more electives, while UNE’s writing major is broader. At Deakin, I could specialise in professional writing, which is my main interest.

Three Chords and Forsooth!<p>Even "blue state" university presidents are in a tough spot: they will get negative press (i.e., career advancement threat) if they knuckle under to GOP/DOGE/whoeverthefuck, but they'll also potentially have those consequences from other quarters if they don't.</p><p>I don't think you get to be a university president by showing "bold leadership." You get that job by doing exactly what every other university president does, which is usually to make loud pronouncements about supporting the "academic status quo" (including supporting all DEI initiatives) while supporting the societal social status quo (i.e., quasi-corporate behavior, anti-labor actions, etc.) with the actions you don't publicly announce.</p><p>Currently, university presidents have few "career-safe" avenues of action. </p><p>My uni president has finally (after 3+ weeks and like 1/3 of the federal government usurped) made an announcement obliquely related to the insanity. It's only "you don't have the authorization to give ICE/FBI/whoever any information about students and you don't have the authorization to receive or respond to any kind of warrant so refer them to system General Counsel", but I guess it's something.</p><p>Maybe someday, possibly after the union is a smoldering ash heap, we'll get some bold leadership.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/suny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>suny</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/highered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>highered</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/professor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>professor</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/corporate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>corporate</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/educorporate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>educorporate</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspol</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a></p>
