Trump admin threatens to rescind federal funds over DEI In a sweeping and unprecedented letter issued over the weekend, the Office for Civil Rights declared race-based scholarships, cultural centers and even graduation ceremonies illegal.

soon enough, the mere presence of black and latino students on campus will be illegal racial discrimination against white students www.insidehighered.com/news/diversi...

A square canvas. Only the top corner is filled with Harings distinctive figures, rendered in Lavender, the rest is blank.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

Good thing we’ve wiped out all infectious diseases and no new ones ever spring up….oh, wait.

Trump’s Gutting of Foreign Aid Is a Threat to Global Health In its chaotic first few weeks, one of the new Trump administration’s many targets has been global health.

"Abandoning this leadership position undermines trust in the U.S., on global health and many other issues, and those effects will linger long after Trump is out of office."

Happy second birthday, Lenny Leonard!

Trump Withdraws U.S. from World Health Organization Public health experts say U.S. withdrawal from the W.H.O. would undermine the nation’s standing as a global health leader and make it harder to fight the next pandemic.

Because of course he did. Shortsighted doesn’t even begin to describe this situation. You can’t make something better if you aren’t even at the table.

Happy 3rd birthday, Carl Carlson!

Never change, #Duluth

Listening to @daveholmes.bsky.social’s best of 2024 playlist and officially deciding to turn all music discovery responsibility over to him. Seriously good stuff, my friends. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

The least believable part of “Wicked” was when everyone started clapping when the dean entered the room.

US membership in the World Health Organization is on the line with Trump’s return If the U.S. withdraws from the global health body, as Trump attempted to do in his first term, the WHO could lose its top government donor.

Cool, cool, cool. What could possibly go wrong?

Selection of RFK Jr. will amplify discussion of public health, Deborah Birx says "What I'm hoping is he brings his transparency for all Americans and we really start to tackle these issues one-by-one-by-one," she said.

Narrator: “It won’t.”

This is your periodic reminder that the greatest increases in life expectancy over the past 125 years have come through public health innovations that this man wants to roll back.

A great list of some fantastic books (and one of mine even snuck on the list). So much good global health work out there!

Celebrating the honorees at the Hatfield School of Government’s Public Service Recognition Ceremony. Love seeing this commitment to public service!

WHO declares mpox a global health emergency as African outbreak grows This follows an earlier emergency declaration for a 2022-2023 global outbreak. The rapid spread of a new form of mpox across Africa has sounded new alarms.

Breaking news: The World Health Organization on Wednesday again declared mpox an international health emergency in response to a growing outbreak in Africa, renewing deep concerns about a virus that had seized global attention two years ago.

And that’s a wrap. Thanks for the past five years and one month, UMD CAHSS—next stop, Portland State!

A little professional news (and an open invitation to visit Portland!):
