#Indiana #Republicans just executed a sudden takeover of #IndianaUniversity without any legislative debate.

"Over the course of 36 hours at the tail end of the three-month legislative session, Indiana lawmakers made significant policy changes that fundamentally alter how state universities conduct themselves. These changes ― among them, giving Gov. Mike Braun sole appointing power over Indiana University's board of trustees, subjecting tenured faculty to "productivity" quotas that could lead to termination, dissolving the decision-making power of faculty governance organizations ― were never the subject of a filed bill or amendment and saw no opportunity for public testimony."
In Indiana, the governor is Republican and both chambers of the legislature are controlled by Republicans.
Update from Lisa Schiff (@lschiff), "Protecting your work – and your values – in US higher education."

In fucked up shit the #GOP #PartyOfStupid is making #academia and #HigherEd do today.
Not at my uni, but at others, administrators rushed to take down DEI “content” from their websites after receiving the government’s odious “Dear colleague” letter.
Now the courts are weighing in and pushing back.
DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE.
It only gives momentum to the things you claim to oppose.

So many talks are just lists!
Here's all the things we did, all the papers published, all the grants won.
Much better to make a point! Have a key message, an agenda, something that the talk revolves around. Say something of note.
"other efforts had mostly focused on English-language content and were locked behind paywalls or limited to a specific subfield of psychology. Our collection would thus serve as a valuable resource (...), bridging an accessibility gap for tools that are readily available in the West".
@alelazic on efforts behind creating #REPOPSI - centralised, open-access Repository of Psychological Instruments in Serbian.
In response to new repressive "security" measures, students at the Xochimilco, Iztapalapa, and Azcapotzalco campuses of the Autonomous Metropolitan University (UAM) have gone on strike.
"Yale University revoked the registration status of a pro-Palestine student group on Wednesday after hundreds of students protested against a speaking event by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on Tuesday, despite the group saying that it was not responsible for organizing the demonstration."

I freely confess to being ideologically captured by peer-review.
The level of vandalism currently being inflicted on #academia within the #USA -- and on the concept of #scholarship more generally -- beggars belief. It feels like the vandalism is irreparable too; rebuilding what has been lost, or even persuading scholars who left in the #Trump exodus to return, is going to take decades. Within a few months the US has become an anti-intellectual paradise.

NSF (Nat’l Science Foundation) director to resign amid grant terminations, job cuts, and controversy - “I have done all I can,” says Sethuraman Panchanathan, a Trump appointee who has led agency since 2020. The far right’s war on Science and research continues unabated. No lab is exempt or immune. These are dark days for research. #Science #research #grants #academia #AcademicChatter
Question regarding #academia and #FreeSpeech: Is the "Foundation for Individual Rights in Education" (FIRE) a reliable source for assessing academic freedom at colleges etc.?
I read that they rank Harvard at the bottom of American institutions and University of Virginia at the top, and find that a bit puzzling.
