- So this happened. So looking forward to 2025-2026 @rad-institute.bsky.social!! www.radcliffe.harvard.edu/news-and-ide...
- I love mathematician Dr. William Claytor. From Norfolk, VA (757 all day), he was DENIED a spot at IAS because Princeton was doing a racism and wouldn't let a Black man join. When IAS came back begging in '39, he said "naw I'm good." Give me his book! Or the book on IAS as both haven and gatekeeper.
- Seriously, give me a history of IAS in the 30s and 40s that wrestles with doing science while simultaneously providing a haven to Jewish scholars while barring Black ones that eventually led to IAS making a more clean break from Princeton so they could hire whoever they wanted. Narrative nonfiction!
- This kicker is the whole ball game. This is why we cannot rely solely on talking about the ROI of universities to explain its value. Why we have to actually talk about the ways higher ed can be an active force for cultural uplift. That integration is one of the raisons d'être of US higher ed.

- Feeling like you have the right to complain is part of the pleasure of writing a book. I also always enjoyed being able to not do anything I didn't want to do by saying, "Sorry gotta work on the book." Count this as another vote of encouragement.

- I love this thread on getting Dr. Baker to write a book so much, because I’ve already preordered 🙃

- My thoughts on that pitiful excuse of a letter from the Sec of ED to Harvard. I care about the naked power grab and authoritarianism way more than the bad writing. They also included my regular request that boards not be cowards. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

- From this morning's Chronicle of Higher Ed update on Ohio's draconian (and thoroughly unconstitutional) SB 1. Just a mind-bending dissonance here.
