The #Trump admin edict ultimately affects both existing #InternationalStudents, who would need to find other schools to attend, & newly admitted #Harvard #students headed for the US in the fall.

The admin’s announcement on Thurs upends students’ lives, & would also be a financial blow to Harvard. Many of Harvard’s international students are enrolled in costly graduate programs, tuition paid by those students potentially generates millions for the #university.

Continued thread

At #Harvard, a conflict had been building for weeks, as the #Trump admin’s Joint Task Force to Combat *Antisemitism* criticized the university for anti-Israel bias. On April 11, the task force sent a letter demanding that Harvard comply with a list of demands that ranged from hiring an outside monitor to police the #ideology of #professors & #students to barring #InternationalStudents “hostile to American values.”

Separately, the #Trump admin had sought to use the federal government’s #international #student system as a way to remove foreign nationals from the country. #Immigration ofcls targeted a handful of pro-#Palestinian student activists, but also ended the #legal status of hundreds of #students, creating a general anxiety among #InternationalStudents at #colleges & #universities nationwide. (Most of those students have had their status restored, but several cases are still pending in court.)

Continued thread

In the new lawsuit, the #university accused the #Trump admin of exerting “clear retaliation for #Harvard exercising its #FirstAmendment rights to control Harvard’s governance, #curriculum & the ‘ideology’ of its #faculty & #students.”

“With the stroke of a pen, the government has sought to erase a quarter of Harvard’s student body, #InternationalStudents who contribute significantly to the university & its mission,” the lawsuit said. “Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard.”

Continued thread

In a letter to the #Harvard community delivered Friday morning, Dr. Alan M. Garber, Harvard’s president, wrote, “We condemn this unlawful & unwarranted action,” adding that it “imperils the futures of thousands of #students & scholars across Harvard & serves as a warning to countless others at #colleges & #universities throughout the country who have come to America to pursue their #education & fulfill their dreams.”

Judge Joun said the plaintiffs painted a “stark picture of the #IrreparableHarm that will result from financial uncertainty & delay, impeded #access to vital #knowledge on which #students & #educators rely, & loss of essential services for America’s most vulnerable student populations.”

#Layoffs of that scale, he added, “will likely cripple the Department.”

Joun ordered the #Education Dept to reinstate #FederalWorkers who were terminated as part of the Mar 11 layoff announcement.

Dear #students at #universities doing your #exams, please stop procrastinating on mastodon and start learning, you can do it :ablobcatnod:

Infosec ExchangecR0w :cascadia: (@cR0w@infosec.exchange)Oh no. No one show this to any students... https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/security/advisories/GHSA-x5cm-2hpq-pw57 `sev:MED 5.3 - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N` > The Open edX Platform is a learning management platform. Prior to commit 6740e75c0fdc7ba095baf88e9f5e4f3e15cfd8ba, edxapp has no built-in protection against downloading the python_lib.zip asset from courses, which is a concern since it often contains custom grading code or answers to course problems. This potentially affects any course using custom Python-graded problem blocks. The openedx/configuration repo has had a patch since 2016 in the form of an nginx rule, but this was only intended as a temporary mitigation. As the configuration repo has been deprecated and we have not been able to locate any similar protection in Tutor, it is likely that most deployments have no protection against python_lib.zip being downloaded. The recommended mitigation, implemented in commit 6740e75c0fdc7ba095baf88e9f5e4f3e15cfd8ba, restricts python_lib.zip downloads to just the course team and site staff/superusers.

#MahmoudKhalil’s attys have repeatedly asked the judge to decide whether to release their client on #bail, like the other #students, before ruling on the issues at the heart of the case. The judge has responded that he must deal w/procedural basics first.

Judge Farbiarz has issued numerous orders & written 2 lengthy rulings: a 67pg determination that he had the right to preside over the case & a 108pg opinion asserting his control over the case had not been stripped.

A Teacher Dragged a 6-Year-Old With Autism by His Ankle. Federal Civil Rights Officials Might Not Do Anything.

The Garrison School is part of a special education district that had students arrested at the highest rate in the country. It had pledged to change how it disciplines kids after a ProPublica-Chicago Tribune investigation and subsequent federal probe.

Universities in the West are punishing students for mentioning Israel's US-funded genocide of Palestinians in their commencement speeches.

The hypocrisy of recruiting kids promising them the kind of education they can use to make the world better, and then slamming them for daring to do so.

Parents should think twice to send their kids off to these fascist, cowardly institutions. Nothing good can come of it.

🧵 3/4: The #Palestine Solidarity march today in #London also had many chants targeting #KeirStarmer & #DavidLammy and their role in arming #Israel, making the UK complicit in #genocide. There were also many #students & #teachers supporting the #disarmeducation campaign to "stop the collaboration of places of #education with #arms companies and #weapons manufacturers". disarmeducation.org/.
Finally sadly the #Arab world itself is no better than the UK, bankrolling #Trump & ignoring #Gaza
