Francesca Albanese's most recent report has profound implications for higher ed.
None is more serious than this: administrators are *personally accountable* under international law for complicity in genocide for institutional entanglements w/ Israel and military-industrial companies.

We explain:
Canadian universities too should be in Francesca Albanese’s report
Canadian university administrators should remember that they too can be held accountable for genocide complicity.

More bad news. #cdnpse 🙁
Horrifying Canadian higher ed news:
York University, one of the country’s major R1s, is apparently suspending admission to a number of key programs (including GWS, languages, classics, and enviro biology)—very likely auguring cuts.
This appears to be straight out of the West Virginia playbook.

This is 100% correct. We see this in how the political elite & - sadly - too many leaders in #cdnpse talk about the university. Their words don’t align with what is actually happening on the ground. We should be weary about politicians who are comfortable with this practice. #cdnpoli
The perception that red tape is preventing Canada from building major projects doesn’t hold hold up. Hundreds of projects, worth hundreds of billions of dollars are planned under existing regulations. Yet Carney blames a bureaucratic maze for stifling growth to justify his deregulatory agenda.

Canadian universities' administrations need to have a good hard think about how boosting AI is inconsistent with their commitments to the environment, equity, and the public good--as well as education, research integrity, and credible information. #cdnpse
A group of environmental justice groups, led by the NAACP, filed a lawsuit earlier this year against xAI, alleging that the company installed gas turbines “without an air permit or regard for the health and safety of people living nearby.”
People living near xAI’s dirty data centers are right pissed about the SpaceX IPO
Elon Musk's worth tops $1 trillion as rural communities fight to rein in his gas turbines.
