So, even if schools and universities comply with #Trump's demands THIS TIME, who is to say they won't have other demands. Look what happened to #ColumbiaUniversity!

The Latest: Trump administration targets #Maine and #UniversityOfPennsylvania over trans athletes

The Education Department has concluded that Maine’s education office violated Title IX antidiscrimination law by allowing transgender girls to play on girls’ sports teams and use girls’ sports facilities

March 19, 2025

"The Education Department concluded Wednesday that Maine's education office violated #TitleIX antidiscrimination law by allowing #transgender girls to play on girls' sports teams and use girls' sports facilities. The state has 10 days to comply with a list of demands or the case will be referred to the Justice Department for prosecution.

"President Donald Trump's administration also suspended $175 million in funding for the University of Pennsylvania over the participation of a #TransgenderAthlete in its swimming program. The Education Department began a separate investigation into the school over the program last month."

IDK if this helps a lot, but when the news says "X University" did something, it usually means the president did. Almost all US #universities are #authoritarian hierarchies where exactly one person has ultimate power* over hiring/firing budgets, salaries, and policy, and that person was appointed by bodies higher up the hierarchy, not elected or meaningfully chosen by faculty, staff, or students. The president often delegates things to the provost(s), deans, directors, or VPs, but still ultimately has all responsibility for, and power over, their decisions.

The faculty tend to be a diverse bunch, but many are much more committed to basic values than the president. We just don't have any power, and we all too frequently fail to use our voice.

  • There are some exceptions/nuances to this, like #faculty usually go through a long and complicated hiring process, though the president must approve their choices; and #tenure provides some job protection at some universities, though a determined president can usually find ways to get around this.

The #US is home to the best collection of #research #universities in the world. Those universities have contributed tremendously to America’s prosperity, health, & security. They are magnets for outstanding talent from throughout the country & around the world.
The #Trump admin’s recent attack on #ColumbiaUniversity puts all of that at risk, presenting the greatest threat to American universities since the Red Scare of the 1950s.

The agents identified themselves as being w/ #DHS & told #BadarSuri the govt had revoked his #visa…
Suri…was put in #deportation proceedings under the same rarely used provision of #immigration #law that the govt invoked to deport #MahmoudKhalil, the #ColumbiaUniversity grad student & #GreenCard holder who led pro-#Palestinian protests on campus. That provision gives the secy of #State power to deport noncitizens if he determines their continued presence in the #US would threaten #ForeignPolicy.

The satanic Israeli regime, with the full backing of the ‘peacemaker’ Donald Trump, has resumed its mass slaughter of children and women in Gaza.

In US politics, genocide enjoys robust bipartisan support.

Last Thursday Columbia University began suspending and expelling students who the school suspected were involved in legal protests.

It's unclear if Kordia was expelled but ICE cited an allegedly expired student visa as the reason for her arrest.

The expulsions were in response to a Trump threat to cut federal funds to the university which account for 1/4th of the schools operating budget.

After Columbia Revokes #ProPalestine #Protesters' Degrees, Alumna Says Time to Burn Our Diplomas | Common Dreams

by Jennifer Scarlott, March 16, 2025

"In May of 1986, I received a master’s degree from #ColumbiaUniversity’s School of International and Public Affairs. That degree has been a proud part of my resume in the many years since.

As Columbia rushes to appease the Trump administration by expelling, suspending, and revoking the degrees of a growing number of students accused of peaceful protest and exercising their constitutional rights to free speech and assembly, I unequivocally renounce my degree and any affiliation with the university. I charge Columbia with complicity in the #genocide in #Gaza and the #WestBank and with terrorizing its anti-genocide, pro-#Palestine students, faculty, and staff. I charge Columbia with appeasement of and partnership with #fascist governments (Biden and Trump) in Washington.

"The shameless #capitulation of Columbia to government pressure is reflective of the corporate, neoliberal selling-out of academia. #Academia, exemplified by Columbia University, has surrendered its proclaimed mission of intellectual independence and endeavor, and the academic pursuit of knowledge and social advancement."

22 years ago today, we learned the name Rachel Corrie when an Israeli army bulldozer crushed her to death in Gaza.

However, few know the story of how both Caterpillar and the British state then spied on her grieving family and friends to protect Israel.

Reminder that the Saudis, backed by US and UK, bombed the Yemenis non-stop and savagely from 2015-22. The alliance also imposed a blockade which caused a famine and pushed millions of kids to brink of starvation.

The Yemenis remained undefeated. Trump and Starmer have no chance.
