A letter from Harvard University addressed to its community regarding the university’s response to an April 16 request from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The letter explains Harvard's compliance with the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) reporting obligations and affirms its ongoing commitment to support international students' visas. It stresses that Harvard does not seek to withdraw from SEVP and highlights the value international students bring to the university. The letter encourages international students to stay focused on their studies and celebrates their academic achievements, welcoming incoming students and acknowledging their dedication.

Continuation of a letter from Harvard University addressing international students and scholars. The message encourages them to stay focused on their academic goals and acknowledges their hard work as the academic year ends. It expresses excitement about welcoming new international students and commends all students for their dedication and resilience. The letter also mentions upcoming guidance for summer travel and emphasizes the value international students bring to Harvard’s educational and research community. It concludes with a note of commitment to student success and is signed by Meredith Weenick, Executive Vice President.

Harvard just handed all school and disciplinary records of international students to DHS. Absolutely contemptible. They're putting their own students in danger and lying by telling them that everything is ok. These students could be black bagged to Louisiana or El Salvador after this.

I wonder how explicit this will get - how many campaign ads against right-wing ethnonationalist parties in South Asia, South America, Europe, or Africa will end up warning voters about the kind of governance the US is getting if they fail to reject the right

IU professor investigated for alleged violation of "intellectual diversity" law An Indiana University professor is under investigation for an alleged violation of Indiana’s “intellectual diversity” law. Ben Robinson, professor of Germanic Studies, said it involves SEA 202, which law requires instructors to foster “free inquiry, free expression and intellectual diversity” in the classroom. The law also sets up a complaint process, so faculty can be reported for alleged violations.

Robinson said an anonymous person filed a complaint on IU’s Bias Incident Reporting web page, which is separate from how IU tracks alleged SEA 202 violations. That system is called EthicsPoint. The distinction is important. IU’s Bias Response Team doesn’t “take disciplinary action, conduct formal investigations, or impinge on free speech rights and academic freedom,” according to the university. Robinson said someone in the administration intervened and elevated the complaint as an SEA 202 violation, which has serious implications. A professor’s tenure can be in jeopardy.

IU spokespeople didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. The College of Arts and Sciences’ 2024 policy states an investigation will determine if the complaint has standing and sufficient evidence. Robinson said he discussed being jailed for civil disobedience while protesting at an Israeli Consulate. He said it was a lesson on the master-slave dialectic, the prisoner’s dilemma and what it’s like being in prison. Robinson has been involved in activism and support for Palestine, among several other causes on campus. Robinson said he is “extremely disappointed and extremely indignant.” “I don’t believe the case has standing,” he said.

Robinson is concerned about the precedent his case could set, meaning someone within the university could see any complaint and refile it as an SEA 202 violation. “If my case has standing, we can just take any random anonymous complaint and redirect” it as. an SEA 202 complaint, Robinson said. “And have a professor investigated for making us uncomfortable.”

Indiana University Professor Ben Robinson--who was also arrested and sanctioned re: last spring's protests--is now being investigated under the state's "intellectual diversity" law. It started with an anonymous internal complaint, which the university escalated. Now, his tenure is in jeopardy.

BYU student's visa reinstated after unexpected revocation A Japanese doctorate student at BYU will now be able to stay in the U.S. after his visa was revoked earlier this month.

Another story of

1. Admin sends fascist order

2. Media reports on it

3. People are outraged, say no

4. Admin says “actually that order was a mistake”

Lesson is defy fascist orders

Foreign students sue Trump officials over revoked visas as 1,000 affected Actions by state department to terminate students’ legal status place them at risk of deportation and detention

Foreign students sue Trump officials over revoked visas as 1,000 affected

With Elon Musk directing DOGE, it’s hard not to see the motive: access to union files, employee records, and legal disputes that could benefit his companies and silence critics.

But instead of being protected, he was targeted. A threatening note was taped to his door, revealing private information and overhead drone photos of him walking his dog. The message was clear: stay silent. He didn’t. He went public.

One of the NLRB’s IT staffers documented everything and submitted a formal disclosure to Congress and other oversight bodies.

In early March, a group of Musk-affiliated staffers from the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) arrived at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the federal agency responsible for protecting workers’ rights and handling union disputes.

The CDC Has Been Gutted Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

NEW: Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

DOGE is disproportionately targeting grants in blue states that voted for Harris. This is about political retribution.

Well, apparently we’ve already blown past the state expelling 50+ people for Palestine solidarity work, one of the markers I was asking and speculating about last month.
