#Project2025 proposes a radical overhaul of the United States education system, with the foreseeable effect being a frontal assault on the freedoms to read, learn, and teach.

Saw Ben Fountain read and speak at Berkeley last evening (interviewed by redoubtable Mark Danner). The guy, on any number of subjects, is absolutely on fire. Civil and funny is an unbeatable combination. Worth seeing.

The scariest part of Project 2025 for higher ed is its dismantling of accreditation. Ron DeSantis could refuse to accredit public/private universities that teach sociology or gender studies or promote diversity, while accrediting diploma mills that don't.

"while the DEI field is under attack, the need for this work is greater than ever. In fact, a survey released this week by Bridge Partners found that nearly 75 percent of companies plan to increase their DEI commitments during the next two years."

[Jeremy C. Young @jeremycyoung]

Great piece on the fight for DEI co-authored by former Spelman and Bennett college president @johnnettabcole, a signatory of PEN America's Champions of Higher Education initiative.

You know what the biggest problem with pushing all-things-AI is? Wrong direction.
I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.
