New from me: One student has enrolled in WVU's new Washington Center after GOP lawmakers mandated creation of program, funded $3 million to it

Proposed college courses this fall include “Woke."

Morgantown folks, join us February 25 to show your support for #ukraine !

[Nobel Peace Center @NobelPeaceOslo]

The #NobelPeacePrize medal.

It measures 6.6 cm in diameter, weighs 196 grams and is struck in gold. On its face, a portrait of Alfred Nobel and on its reverse, three naked men holding around each other’s shoulders as a sign of brotherhood. A design unchanged for 120 years.

Did you know that some Nobel Peace Prize medals have been passed on after the award was given? A well‑known case is Dmitry Muratov’s medal, which was auctioned for over USD 100 million to support refugees from the war in Ukraine.

And the medal displayed at the Nobel Peace Center is actually on loan and originally belonged to Christian Lous Lange, Norway’s first Peace Prize laureate.

But one truth remains. As the Norwegian Nobel Committee states: “Once a Nobel Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others. The decision is final and stands for all time.”

A medal can change owners, but the title of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate cannot.

"and here's Harpers Ferry where John Brown visited for no known reason. It's said that John Brown arrived and said "sick vista, how about some rafting?" Unfortunately John Brown was executed, for no known reasons."

Today @RileyMooreWV and @CarolMillerWV are going to celebrate pushing these West Virginia hospitals toward closure.

[Joey Garcia @JoeyGarciaWV]

Absolute BS and complete waste of taxpayer money, millions of dollars to duplicate civics, history, poli sci, philosophy, and other programs at WVU. I cannot put into words how much I abhor this bill. No one who voted for this bill is a fiscal conservative.

[Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell]

The National Science Foundation 55 percent budget cut is a deliberate dismemberment of America's innovation engine by Russell Vought and DOGE. This is exactly the type of behavior you would expect from someone seeking to make America weaker and less competitive in the face of its adversaries — it is the type of behavior you would expect from a Chinese Communist Party asset.

Don't blame Panch for stepping down.

Two ways: Pope Francis visits a prison in Rome and, after spending time with them, blows them kisses. He said, "I ask myself: Why them and not me?" Rep. Moore visits a jail in El Salvador and gave a thumbs up to their suffering. Which way would Jesus, who was imprisoned, prefer?

[Lisa Di Bartolomeo ☮️🇺🇦🌈 @LMDiBartolomeo]

Anyone want to show these morons that the American people do, indeed, stand with #Ukraine?
Join us Monday, March 10 @123pleasant for some great music for a great cause! #СлаваУкраїні

What a spectacular performance Putin’s eager lapdog and slobbering attack dog gave today for Russian state media, nipping pathetically at the heels of President Zelensky, a leader for democracy and freedom. Putin awards Trump and Vance Best in Show!

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly.
And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you.

[Ukraine / Україна @Ukraine]

Believe in Ukraine. Stand with Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine!

[War on the Rocks @WarOnTheRocks]

Ukraine is shifting westward — its economy, its exports, and its future. https://t.co/2g6jNgJrxV

Even the greatest country, if it loses the rule of law, will not have much left.

[leamarie @leamarie]

@bitmapped @SCrichlow If it’s not directly research and not on-campus, a different rate will be applied per the rate agreement. WVU will see millions of dollars lost by this. And that’s on top of other actions that are starting to cut into research funds.

[leamarie @leamarie]

@bitmapped @SCrichlow The indirect rate is lower for funders who require it (such as foundations). NIH funding is billed at the full rate. NIH funding is under WVURC and under WVU (clinical trials). The loss in funding would be massive with the lower rate.
