  1. Also, my alma mater, an ostensible "Big 10" school, got absolutely battered in football by my kid's (smaller and much less football-y) university last night. I could not be more pleased, honestly.

    Choosing to pursue big time athletics was a mistake for Rutgers and continues to be. Maybe at some point they'll figure that out.

  6. The Senator Who Used to Be Cory Booker

    We taught at Rutgers-Newark in the same years, before he was mayor, before the Senate, before the rebranding. We shared a building lobby on University Avenue. I never shook his hand. I did not need to. Everyone on that campus knew Cory. He pulled the air toward him when he walked through a door, a Rhodes Scholar, a Yale-trained lawyer who had chosen Newark when he could have chosen Manhattan or Washington, a young man who spoke about education the way ministers speak about scripture. Students mattered to him. He believed a city scarred by Sharpe James and three decades of municipal corruption could be reformed from inside its worst housing project, into which he had moved on purpose. I watched that man hold a room without effort. He had a builder's mind. He had, in the older sense of the word, character. […]

  7. Meet #Redwing, the torpedo-shaped #robot testing the limits of #ocean observation
    The robot, an autonomous ocean glider from New England, is attempting to become the first to circle the globe. The glider dives and climbs in slow, sawtooth zigzags, sometimes a kilometer down. If it makes it home in about five years, Redwing will become the first autonomous underwater vehicle to #circumnavigate the globe.

  11. Looks like the American Association of University Professors agrees with me!

    #AAUP, Allies Sue over #Trump Policy of Arresting and Threatening to Deport #Students and #Faculty for #LawfulSpeech

    "The national AAUP; chapters at #Harvard, #Rutgers, and #NYU; and the #MiddleEastStudies Association today filed a lawsuit seeking to block the Trump administration from carrying out large-scale arrests, detentions, and deportations of noncitizen students and faculty members who participate in #ProPalestinian #protests and other protected #FirstAmendment activities.

    "We believe that the administration’s ideological-deportation policy violates the First Amendment by targeting constitutionally protected speech that Americans have a right to hear and engage with. The policy has created a climate of fear and repression on campuses around the country. We are represented in the case by the #KnightFirstAmendmentInstitute at #ColumbiaUniversity, #AhilanArulanantham, and Zimmer, Citron & Clarke LLP.

    "Following executive orders issued by President Trump in January, the federal agencies that enforce immigration laws have arrested and detained several people associated with U.S. colleges and universities, including a legal permanent resident, on the basis of constitutionally protected speech and association.

    "Today’s filing argues that the ideological-deportation policy has created a climate of #repression and intense fear on university #campuses, 'terrorizing students and faculty for their exercise of First Amendment rights in the past, intimidating them from exercising those rights now, and silencing political viewpoints that the government disfavors.'

    "'The Trump administration is going after international #scholars and students who speak their minds about #Palestine, but make no mistake: they won't stop there. They'll come next for those who teach the history of #slavery or who provide #GenderAffirming health care or who research #ClimateChange or who counsel students about their reproductive choices. We all have to draw a line together—as the old labor movement slogan says: an injury to one is an injury to all,' says AAUP President Todd Wolfson.

    "'The First Amendment means the government can’t arrest, detain, or deport people for lawful political expression—it’s as simple as that. This practice is one we’d ordinarily associate with the most repressive political regimes, and it should have no place in our democracy,' says #JameelJaffer, executive director at the Knight First Amendment Institute."

  12. Most of the new inquiries are focused on colleges’ partnerships w/the #PhDProject, a #nonprofit that helps #students from underrepresented groups get degrees in #business w/the goal of diversifying the business world.

    The group of 45 colleges facing scrutiny over ties to the PhD Project include major public universities such as #ArizonaState, #OhioState & #Rutgers, along w/prestigious private schools like #Yale, #Cornell, #Duke & #MIT.

  13. Hey, little baby girl who was killed while your dad was trying to protect you inside his hug, the #American "elite" students are fighting on behalf of you, baby.

    Rest in Peace, sweetie! Rest in Peace, Dad!

    The new generations have got this.
