“We needed to write something that had some meat,” said David Salas-de la Cruz, who directs the chemistry graduate program at #Rutgers University-Camden. He likened the effort to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or #NATO, a military #alliance of 32 countries.

“This is not just about money,” he said. “This is about the essence of #education.”

2 #professors from #Rutgers University in #NJ went out on a limb to write a “mutual defense compact” for #BigTen schools.

The professors—1 teaches chemistry in Camden, the other psychology in Newark—said they were frustrated by #Trump’s abrupt cuts to #research #funding & its efforts to dictate #policy on some campuses.

They were also troubled by the lack of a unified response by #university leaders.

Harvard Promises Changes After Reports on Antisemitism and Islamophobia

fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.nyti

The reports were hundreds of pages long, and could complicate the difficult balance Harvard faces as it grapples with reports of bias.

The press release cited alleged statements by editors at the #HarvardLawReview in which they appeared to favor *minority* writers. In one instance, an editor allegedly voiced concern that 4 of the 5 people who wanted to reply to an article about police reform “are white men” [okay, but that is germane to the topic]. In another alleged incident, an editor suggested that an article should get expedited review because the author was a minority.

The investigation follows a report by the [#unethical (see link) & #FarRight] #WashingtonFreeBeacon concluding that race “plays a far larger role in the selection of both editors & articles” than previously acknowledged by the #HarvardLawReview. The Washington Free Beacon article was based on leaked internal documents.
