DB 🌱💦All over the West, free speech is falling victim to pro-Israel supporters in government and institutions, and anything related to the Gaza genocide is being severely punished and suppressed with the blanket accusation of 'antisemitism'.c: @5149jamesli on IG<a href="https://todon.eu/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSpeech</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ICE</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Israel</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antisemitism</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Oppression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Oppression</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Universities</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#US</a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Zionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Zionism</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"Most of our students are functionally illiterate. This is not a joke. By “functionally illiterate” I mean “unable to read and comprehend adult novels by people like Barbara Kingsolver, Colson Whitehead, and Richard Powers.” I picked those three authors because they are all recent Pulitzer Prize winners, an objective standard of “serious adult novel.” Furthermore, I’ve read them all and can testify that they are brilliant, captivating writers; we’re not talking about Finnegans Wake here. But at the same time they aren’t YA, romantasy, or Harry Potter either.I’m not saying our students just prefer genre books or graphic novels or whatever. No, our average graduate literally could not read a serious adult novel cover-to-cover and understand what they read. They just couldn’t do it. They don’t have the desire to try, the vocabulary to grasp what they read,2 and most certainly not the attention span to finish. For them to sit down and try to read a book like The Overstory might as well be me attempting an Iron Man triathlon: much suffering with zero chance of success.Students are not absolutely illiterate in the sense of being unable to sound out any words whatsoever. Reading bores them, though. They are impatient to get through whatever burden of reading they have to, and move their eyes over the words just to get it done. They’re like me clicking through a mandatory online HR training. Students get exam questions wrong simply because they didn't even take the time to read the question properly. Reading anything more than a menu is a chore and to be avoided."<a href="https://hilariusbookbinder.substack.com/p/the-average-college-student-today" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://hilariusbookbinder.substack.com/p/the-average-college-student-today</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Universities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Universities</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HigherEd</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Literacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Literacy</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Illiteracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Illiteracy</a>

Miguel Afonso CaetanoWhat would you expect?"The massive changes in US research brought about by the new administration of President Donald Trump are causing many scientists in the country to rethink their lives and careers. More than 1,200 scientists who responded to a Nature poll — three-quarters of the total respondents — are considering leaving the United States following the disruptions prompted by Trump. Europe and Canada were among the top choices for relocation.The trend was particularly pronounced among early-career researchers. Of the 690 postgraduate researchers who responded, 548 were considering leaving; 255 of 340 PhD students said the same.Trump’s administration has slashed research funding and halted broad swathes of federally funded science, under a government-wide cost-cutting initiative led by billionaire Elon Musk. Tens of thousands of federal employees, including many scientists, have been fired and rehired following a court order, with threats of more mass firings to come.
