“The Auburn University Board of Trustees on Friday gave itself complete control over course offerings, curriculum, degree requirements and academic credentials while eliminating shared governance at the Alabama land-grant university… The policy leaves many questions unanswered”
Jenney Bitner: I'm not a scientist or policy expert. But I know that the drug that kept me alive for my children was built on a foundation of public investment.
The ADA called the cops on attendees--one of them a former ADA president--for distributing reprints of an article pulblished in the ADA's flagship journal.
"Failing to meet the moment" is starting to feel like the understatement of the century when it comes scientific organizations in the US.

If not now, when? This is an emergency.

To clarify: the story and reporting is excellent; but for those outside of science, each of us will have to be clear in our messaging - this is not 'oversight' in any conventional sense; it cuts to the core of the viability of US science.
