A long long time ago, in a far away galaxy... the US used to tax the rich

I don’t know how anyone is managing to do anything.

That said, I fear it will get much worse under the current regime. I’m worried we will start seeing actual arrests of faculty who have been outspoken on this issue.

I’m not sure this is new, unfortunately. Faculty have long been denied tenure, fired, and disciplined for showing solidarity with Palestinians or criticizing Israel (e.g., Steve Salaita from UIUC in 2014). Progressive except for Palestine, as they say…

I haven’t lived through the collapse of a civilisation before

I study history so I have read the guidebooks, but they don’t quite capture the experience of being there

I agree but I think it’s their fault.

I will say if you’re a student on a visa who is pro Palestine, especially if you’re Arab, I advise you to lock your accounts.

Sometimes it’s time to speak up and sometimes it’s time to let others with privilege speak up.

Also, whether you’re at my institution or not, feel free to reach out!

And a great place to be a student, yikes!

I do wonder if/how this will affect applicant pools. Lord knows I wouldn’t have applied to any college that didn’t offer courses like that.
