York University is suspending admissions to over a dozen programs in the fall, likely planning to shut them down completely in the next few years. Faculty member shares this list that went over the YU Faculty Association council email list. Astonishing
Horrifying Canadian higher ed news:
York University, one of the countryβs major R1s, is apparently suspending admission to a number of key programs (including GWS, languages, classics, and enviro biology)βvery likely auguring cuts.
This appears to be straight out of the West Virginia playbook.

Trump is unleashing sadism upon the world. But we cannot get overwhelmed | Judith Butler
Those who celebrate his defiance and sadism are as claimed by his logic as those who are paralyzed with outrage
READ THIS ASAP:
βIf we continue to be gripped with outrage and stilled by stupefaction by each dayβs new proclamation, we will fail to discern what links them. To be gripped by his statements is precisely the aim of their utterance.β
