Update. "Some Universities Are Done Playing Defense Alone—They’re Building an Army"
cloakinginequity.com/2025/04/1

"Faculty and institutional leaders are responding with something both pragmatic and profound: Mutual Academic Defense Compacts…Faculty are…taking collective action. These mutual defense compacts are more than symbolic gestures; they represent the infrastructure of resistance. They aim to ensure that when universities are politically targeted—whether over curriculum, hiring practices, or research agendas—they can respond rapidly, forcefully, and in solidarity."

Before the genocide, the education sector in Gaza was thriving. Despite the occupation and blockade, Gaza had one of the highest literacy rates in the world, reaching 97 percent. The enrolment rate in secondary education was 90 percent, and the enrolment in higher education was 45 percent.

Textbooks were distributed for free, and families received support to buy bags, notebooks, pens, and school uniforms.

Update. "U.S. climate data websites go dark"
science.org/content/article/us

"U.S. scientists, state policymakers, farmers, and others who depend on up-to-date #climate data on Thursday confronted an information blackout from federal regional climate centers across much of the country. “Unfortunately, all data and services offered under the base contract, including this website, will be unavailable unless and until funding is resumed,” a statement on the Southern Regional Climate Center’s website read…The disruption appears to be a temporary paperwork bottleneck within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (#NOAA), rather than a policy decision by agency leadership, officials at several of the centers say. The centers are managed by NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information. But they are housed chiefly at #universities operating under 5-year agreements. The contracts for payment are approved each year. The last annual cycle ended on 16 April."

#Trump has particularly threatened #universities over campus #protests against #US ally #Israel's devastating military assault on #Gaza after a deadly Oct 2023 attack by Palestinian #Hamas militants.

Trump casts the protesters as #ForeignPolicy threats who are antisemitic & sympathetic to Hamas. Protesters, including some #Jewish groups, say Trump wrongly conflates their advocacy for #Palestinian rights & criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza w/support for #extremism & #antisemitism.

#Trump's admin said on Fri it sought #Harvard University's records on foreign #funding going back a decade & on some foreign ties, in the govt's latest escalation against the educational institution.

Trump has launched a widely condemned crackdown against top US #universities, including Harvard, over pro-#Palestinian campus #protests & other #CultureWar issues like #transgender rights & #diversity, #equity & #inclusion programs.

"In their haste to comply with apparent directives from Trump, universities became unwitting handmaidens of the #deportation machine.

The #DHS said this week in a Michigan court that the agency does not have the authority to terminate students’ #immigration statuses by terminating their records in the Student Exchange and Visitor Information System."

#ChrisKrebs joins…growing list of #universities & #LawFirms seeking to push back on #Trump’s efforts to [ab]use the office of the president to attack critics & opponents.
“It’s about the government pulling its levers to punish #dissent, to go after corporate interests & corporate relationships. It’s the same thing we’ve seen w/the law firms, they’ve gone after clearances, they’ve gone after contracts. It’s a novel & expansive strategy they are taking on & it should concern everyone,” Krebs said.

Update. "Faculty From 14 Universities Join Forces to Call on Administrative Bodies to Stand Up to Attacks on Higher Education"
docs.google.com/document/d/1hF

"Faculty from fourteen universities across the United States signed and released letters calling for their respective university’s administrative bodies to stand up to the Trump administration’s attacks on academic freedom, freedom of inquiry, and other democratic principles. Nearly 5,100 faculty have collectively signed these letters on what the American Association of University Professors has called a Day of Action for Higher Ed. This is a collaborative effort independently organized by passionate faculty across four universities… Following the extraordinary sign of leadership from Harvard University on April 14, 2025, these faculty are speaking out to encourage their own institutions to stand up and fight back collectively against the illegal and unprecedented actions of the federal government."

Here's an open letter calling on American higher ed institutions to stand with #Harvard and take the same position. It appears to be open to new signatures. But I can't tell (1) how to sign or (2) who's behind it. Can anyone help with this?docs.google.com/document/d/17P
