#Canvas has been hijacked.
Attackers broke into #Instructure's systems & demanded a ransom to keep them from locking down the popular #LMS. Supposedly, Instructure applied security patches instead, which were ineffective against these criminals. Then the #pirates locked down the system & demand a ransom to not publicly release all the Canvas user organizations' data and unlock the system. #UMich is only one of the orgs using Canvas. There are many others.

“Sing for Lawrence Levy, the first Jewish professor at the University of Michigan….”
“Sing for the students of the Black Action Movement,…”
“Sing for the pro-Palestinian student activists. This opened our hearts to the injustice and inhumanity of Israel’s war in Gaza.”

“The greatness of this institution does not only rest on the shoulders and on the accomplishments of our student athletes, who deserve all the congratulations we can offer them,” Peterson said. “The greatness of this university rests also on the courage and the conviction of student activists who have pushed this university down the path towards justice.”

All Content from Business Insider | Americans feel worse about the economy than ever before by Juliana Kaplan,Madison Hoff
Americans are feeling bad about the economy, and it's due in part to prices at the gas pump.Camden Hall/NurPhoto via Getty Images
New data showed consumer sentiment slipped to a record low in April.Rising gas prices are affecting people's view of the economy.Other economic issues, like the frozen job market, are probably worsening the dreariness.Americans' economic mood can be succinctly described in one word: Terrible.
While inflation soars as conflict with Iran drags on and shows up at the gas pump, consumer sentiment is plummeting. University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index, which tracks how American consumers feel about economic conditions, fell to 47.6 in April — a record low and a nearly 11% decline month-over-month.

📰 New traffic light technology to reduce wait time at metro Detroit intersections — #MichiganPublic
#UMich researchers use #AI to analyze #Detroit traffic flows using anonymized GPS data and compute new timings to synchronize traffic lights. Then they physically load the timing data into traffic lights. They hope to be able to remotely update traffic light data in the future.
Is this a good, harmless use of AI?

Got the chance to hear and meet Karen Hao today at the her #umich guest lecture. She provides an exceptional account of how the insanities of #AI have taken hold in the US, and many grounded ideas into how we can resist and govern their existence, in her book "Empire of AI."
As she mentions in the book and in her lecture, the future is not predictable, nor should it be. We as technologists should be reactive and attentive to change, and shape our systems of technology in response. @karenhao

#UMich physician builds coalition to counter #RFKJr's [#COVID19] vaccine policies
Dr. Pamela Rockwell, a professor at the University of Michigan Medical School, is leading a coalition in Michigan to circumvent federal policy restrictions on COVID-19 vaccines.
"We have been duped by RFK Jr.," said Rockwell. "He has proven himself a liar about everything he said when he was confirmed [by Congress]."

"The surveillance appears to largely be an intimidation tactic, five students who have been followed, recorded or eavesdropped on said. The undercover investigators have cursed at students, threatened them and in one case drove a car at a student who had to jump out of the way, according to student accounts and video footage shared with the Guardian." #Michigan #Umich #AnnArbor #Education #Academia #Palestine #CityShield #USPol https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/06/michigan-university-gaza-surveillance

Okay, how does NCRC not have a single parking area where you can use daily parking passes? Especially with so many people working hybrid schedules these days. Now, I get to pay even more to park while working today… 🙄

Former University of Michigan (now University of Florida) President Santa Ono is a boot-licking, cowardly, sellout asshole, and I hope he never has a day of peace for the rest of his miserable, treasonous life.

#US / University of Michigan President Santa Ono’s ties with hate group ADL and anti-Palestinian bias
Speaking at an #ADL conference in Manhattan University of Michigan President, Santa Ono, admitted to increasing university investments in Israel-connected institutions in response to divestment calls, while embracing conspiracy theories about outside influences organizing campus protests against the genocide in #Gaza.
Ono's willingness to align with this controversial organization while suppressing pro-Palestinian campus speech intensifies concerns about his impartiality in addressing the Israeli occupation of Palestine at the university. Rep. Rashida Tlaib condemned the ADL as an "extremist group" with a "decades-long history of anti-Arab, anti-Muslim, and anti-Black racism."
More on ADL’s history of racism and anti-Muslim bias, see https://droptheadl.org

CW: Child abuse
It was always my hope to avoid scandal for #UofM and my estranged family. But the #umich administration refused to investigate, and the criminal statute of limitations is over.
My father has already done so much harm to so many people. Publicizing this is the only way I have to stop him from harming anyone else. -
CW: Child abuse
It's frankly absurd that, as an #umich alumni, I can speak at countless universities and events worldwide, but can't speak at my own alma mater for fear of being stalked and harassed by my own father (who has admitted to sending private investigators to stalk me for my personal information.)
Yet the university administration refused when I asked to be protected from him. How can Michigan expect to continue to be a premier research university if they are unwilling to protect potential invited speakers from faculty members who have confessed to abusing them as a child?
Most abuse survivors do not become internationally known figures with a greater platform than their abuser. Most cannot obtain testimony from an eyewitness and a direct confession from their abuser.
Yet #UofM still refuses to act for myself. What message does that send to others?
-
CW: Child abuse
It's been publicly reported since mid-2021 that I'm a survivor of child abuse.
What has not been publicly reported is that my father, who admits to physically abusing me as a child, is a sitting professor at #UofM, whom the #umich administration has refused to investigate.
I'd hoped to avoid publicizing this. When I first heard that my father allegedly had other victims, I pursued my own case w/ UM's OIE (now ECRT) repeatedly since June 2021. As an alumni, I'd hoped they'd take the issue seriously. Instead, they declared it not their problem.
I understand that university administrators are busy. I realize that they do not wish to adjudicate inter-family cases. But when a sitting professor is a self-confessed child beater, I think it's reasonable to ask for some oversight into him. And when the victim he admits to abusing is an international figure whom the university seeks to invite to speaking engagements, I think it's reasonable to have a no-contact order in place.
