  4. They were quick to identify that Trump’s campaign didn’t really seem to be about fighting antisemitism @ all, but rather about using that fight as a justification for govt overreach. Roth, a historian & the pres. of #Wesleyan told The New Yorker, “Anti-antisemitism can be appropriated by any political movement. They can use that as a vehicle for persecuting researchers & institutions that are not aligned w/the ideology of the person in charge.”

  5. CW: us pol / HE / positive

    I just want to draw this to the attention of other #Wesleyan alums prospect.org/blogs-and-newslet

    Michael Roth has specifically tried to organise universities against collaborating with Trump, calling this a "Vichy Moment."

    He has put Wes's federal funding at risk. If you have a few extra dollars after paying for tariffs and giving to mutual aid, alumni donations can soften the blow and help Wes stay strong.

    This is the most proud I've ever been to be an alum from there, tbh. givecampus.com/campaigns/15700

  6. “It’s a Vichy moment in American history." This is a valuable report and thoughtful analysis of #columbia capitulation to #trump and #wesleyan pushback, and the key questions for #highered and #teaching prospect.org/blogs-and-newslet

  8. Those who know me, know on Sunday's I don my #Wesleyan best & go that other place 🏠 for a wee #chat 🙏🏽 with my #boss (others are available apparently). #preacher man was #church of #wales .i.e. very #cymraeg #welsh . However in the course of his #preach he did reflect on the clash of two #bullies using the #Ukraine as a 'football'. It was an analogy that has some #resonance I think. #justsaying x

  17. As we celebrate 50 years of experimentalism at #Wesleyan, there is an aspect of nostalgia and all its attendant baggage, including hagiography.

    Can nostalgia be productive or are we trapped in an ossified institutional radicalism?

    Is this a product of the age of the nostalgist or the age of the anecdote? Gen Xers carried a wistfulness for Woodstock in our youth. Vaporwave is borne out of generationally displaced nostalgia.

    Cage's anecdotes were also a nostalgia when he collected and wrote them.

  19. Thank you #Wesleyan University for listing A SECOND CHANCE FOR YESTERDAY as one of your "winter break recommendations." We love to think of folks reading it next to roaring fire 🔥 with a mug of hot cocoa. ☕️

  20. Proud of #Wesleyan, my alma mater, for ending legacy admissions, but gotta admit my 2d thought was hey, my kid (who I never imagined going to Wes) won't get a benefit. In other words, I can see how giving up any #privilege (even one you didn't realize you had) can be scary. #AffirmativeAction #College #SCOTUS ctmirror.org/2023/07/19/wesley

  22. "Wesleyan University, a liberal arts college in Connecticut, is ending legacy admissions, which give a leg up to the children of alumni, just weeks after the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action.

    After the Supreme Court decision, legacy admissions came under heavy attack because the practice tends to favor white, wealthy applicants over Black, Hispanic, Asian American and Native American students"

  23. Fun Fact: Writing #NamingGotham reconnected me with old friends! Just got this email from a college buddy (go Wes!):
    "Just now I was reading your chapter on Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney and thought that her Titanic sculpture looked familiar. I was in DC a month ago when I snapped this photo."

  25. Here is #Wesleyan alum and genius #LaelBrainard saying it was a bad idea to end the regulation that prevented #VC bank #SVB from going under. But #Trump ended it. So it went under when #Thiel shorted it and caused a run. #VCs #yuck Please regulate banks better. Also stop stock buybacks etc. Thanks.

  27. I'm starting to think the people writing about #Asbury's #Revival don't know much about #Holiness #Wesleyan #Pentecostal churches

    In the 70's & 80's a revival would pop-up that lasted weeks

    The local church down the road has a service on Sunday night that sometimes last days. We hear the commotion. That occurs often, still

    I was raised old school Nazarene

    The articles I am reading compare these to the professional crusades, like Billy Grahams. Those weren't revivals.

  29. MLB pitchers and catchers have reported, those in the World Baseball Classic have reported, and everyone else comes tomorrow or Tuesday!

    These are college mascots but also have MLB teams too. Colleges are already practicing or playing!
