This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Trump’s proposed “compact” with nine major universities “is extortion, plain and simple,” Erwin Chemerinsky writes. “It is not hyperbole to say that the future of higher education in America requires that every university reject it.”
Oregon On The Record talked with the professor and students of the historic U of O Forensics program facing elimination due to budget cuts.

I feel like being a Jets fan has prepared me for this moment.
Upsetting news. Especially devastating for students in the program and for speech and debate in Oregon. UO has been an anchor for competitive high school forensics in the state for as long as there has been competitive speech and debate. Many hard at work trying to save the program.
Yes. Faculty candidates need to know about institution, program specific context, including enrollment pressures. Be honest, be transparent.

In the 80s/90s a lot of high schools kids in Eugene had cool radio shows on KRVM where they could play pretty much anything. Based at Sheldon H.S. there was also a studio at Churchill H.S. Still around but different. Great station.
Like the idea of pairings. I'll throw one out. Little Simz's Grey Area (2019) and Megan Thee Stallion's Suga (2020) w/ track focus on Venom and Savage. Lots to play with and productively disrupts East Coast/West Coast narrative by going London and Houston.

Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist (feat. Anderson.Paak) - Ensalada
NFUE - Rubami La Liberta

Successful weaponization of antisemitism in project to destroy higher education. More success likely to follow. Not good.
