I spoke with Edwin Eisendrath on his show "It's the Democracy Stupid" @heartlandsignal.bsky.social about Iowa's (Orwellian) Center for Intellectual Freedom, attacks on higher education, and critical race theory. @alliancehighered.bsky.social
"The proposed budget by this administration eliminates access to programs like TRIO, GEAR UP, child care for college students funding for MSIs, Medicaid, federal work student grants... and research funding focused on DEI. The hardest part of college should be in the classroom, not outside of it."
There are no workarounds to higher education's contemporary authoritarian challenges nor the sector's shortcomings.
The only way out is through. By building coalitions in defense of and in the advancement of knowledge, democracy, and the freedom to teach, learn, and research.
On the Future Trends Forum just now @michaelhgavin.bsky.social says we should expect a major conservative push on general education this fall.
