“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber https://t.co/6cQQpcJVTd
Last night, @SEIU projected this over the Boston Common to send a clear message: in the face of fascism, labor won't back down. We will continue to call for the immediate release of our union sibling Rümeysa until she is free!
@Wellesley President Paula Johnson and Provost Courtney Coile are set to appear at the College Senate meeting today at 6 after @WOAWUAW went on strike and the announcement change in grading plan. Please follow along with our live coverage.
Can’t stop thinking about Sheryl Sandberg’s “would you hide me” persecution fantasy being broadcast contemporaneously with footage of actual abductions of Muslim students
wellesley is threatening the visas of interntl students to break
the NTT faculty strike as ICE is abducting students from the streets of Boston. this soulless evil institution is never getting a cent from me. join me in donating to the strikers instead!
With people being literally abducted by ICE, it is truly evil, vile, and disingenuous to threaten international students rather than to bargain with the Union to end this now. @Wellesley College, you should be ashamed.
@Wellesley The poor treatment of students, particularly those with marginalized identities coupled with a lack of mental health supports & a disinvestment in non-STEM make Wellesley a risky choice at this point
.@Wellesley what are you doing? Putting international students in a precarious position in this climate is both reckless and negligent

@Wellesley All of this to turn around and increase tuition by over 4%, charging 92k/year for what? To be thrown to the wolves by the administration? Do the benefits of attending @Wellesley outweigh any potential harm?
Absolutely despicable that rather than bargaining with us to end this strike,@Wellesley College is forcing students to enroll in RANDOM courses. This completely devalues the Wellesley College educational experience. @Wellesley is making students pay the price.
Students — especially international students who leave behind their families and livelihoods — put so much trust in their universities. The last few weeks has proven that they are effectively useless when it comes to protecting them.
Our Director Dima Khalidi argues in the @thenation today that universities’ complete surrender to Trump’s ever-harsher crackdowns on the student movement “will not release them from the administration’s crosshairs. Columbia has learned that lesson 400 million times over”.
