The biggest reason government officials aren't giving any specifics about the criteria by which these arrests and deportations are selected, is that the criteria is "pro-Israel think-tanks and advocacy organizations created lists of troublesome individuals and gave them to us."

Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked.

The β€˜justification’ is campus activism or social media posts.

It appears the Trump Admin is shutting down the Dept of Education's International and Foreign Language Education unit, which funds and administers University and graduate foreign language study throughout the country and overseas. If true, an act of national sabotage. www.ed.gov/about/ed-off...

We do a slightly different variationβ€” the superb owl party! Everybody comes with owl art or facts and we all learn about owls! (Yes, I’m married to an ornithologist…)

Here’s UNC’s response, which I see as misleading at best and outright lies at worstβ€”This is not normal.

Had a similar experience last year when someone hit and ran my parked car. The garage had the footage including the tags of the car but needed the police to request it. It took multiple calls, a visit to the police precinct and almost a month for them to simply request the footage.

Highest-paid player in college football history? Transfer QB Darian Mensah's Duke deal is sign of times

It’s wild to see Duke poaching a quarterback for $8 million for two years when they’re barely budging on giving the union a pay increase for the 2,500 grad students that actually perform the core educational and research functions of university www.cbssports.com/college-foot...
