Someone from U Zurich did an undisclosed persuasion experiment on Reddit users in r/ChangeMyView using #LLM bots. This kind of social media research is absolutely unethical and the "results" should not be published.
Additional shame on the ethics committee for arguing *for* publication. In my view, this is outrageous scientific misconduct. #nlproc #academia #ethics #socialMedia

"On Monday, after consulting with medical professionals, 10 students at Occidental College launched a hunger strike, hoping to draw attention to their long-standing demands for the college to divest from weapons manufacturers with ties to Israel as the war in Gaza continues.

"And in this new season of protest, they have tacked on additional demands, calling on Occidental to bolster protections for international students amid the Trump administration’s sweeping efforts to revoke the visas of students whose activities it deems counter to national interests, in some cases targeting students who have protested Israel’s war on Gaza."

The Situation at Columbia X ~ Prof. Peter Woit

"There appear to be two ways this can now go:

* Negotiations break down and Columbia joins Harvard in going to court.
* A deal is made with the Trump panel....

The actions of the trustees so far have done a huge amount of damage to the reputation of the university. If they take the first route, they may be able to start on fixing this....”

"Palestinian Liberation and Zionist Ideology at the Western University" by Esmat Elhalaby and Maya Wind

"The student mobilization and the administrative response have exposed both the Zionist project and the Western university as entangled imperial formations. Both have lost mass legitimacy, and both have shown themselves as necessitating violence for their reproduction. The students have laid bare the ideological and material apparatuses by which these projects are sustained, as well as the beginning of their unraveling."

#Indiana #Republicans just executed a sudden takeover of #IndianaUniversity without any legislative debate.
indystar.com/story/news/politi

"Over the course of 36 hours at the tail end of the three-month legislative session, Indiana lawmakers made significant policy changes that fundamentally alter how state universities conduct themselves. These changes ― among them, giving Gov. Mike Braun sole appointing power over Indiana University's board of trustees, subjecting tenured faculty to "productivity" quotas that could lead to termination, dissolving the decision-making power of faculty governance organizations ― were never the subject of a filed bill or amendment and saw no opportunity for public testimony."

In Indiana, the governor is Republican and both chambers of the legislature are controlled by Republicans.
