At tribal colleges, scholarships funded by a USDA grant have been suspended amid the Trump administration’s widespread cost-cutting.

Now some students are facing their final weeks on campus.

I am still looking into the UX of Mastodon, and have learned a lot along the way! I would love to get some users feedback to help with my understanding.

After some very helpful comments from my last post, I have made a new, more secure survey, linked here: https://umich.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bOy7k3lVBFEyIQu

Hey college/university alumni and students, is your school reaffirming their commitment to DEI in the face of the executive orders? Let them know you're proud of them. Are they cutting programs and cowering in a corner? Let them know you're ashamed and will not be donating any money.

Institutional Neutrality Policies Are Embraced by Colleges Like Harvard and Michigan After Student Protests

"In light of this year’s protests, however, critics of institutional neutrality say these policies ultimately prioritize a university's reputation, donor relations, and other institutional interests over the rights of students and faculty to express their views on urgent global issues. Some activists who spoke with Teen Vogue refer to this as a “Palestine exception” to free speech, claiming that neutrality policies are selectively applied to discourage support for Palestinian rights while other political stances are allowed to go unchallenged.

These activists also point out that, despite claiming neutrality, many colleges and universities have established partnerships and financial connections that inherently reflect a political stance. Institutions like Columbia, for example, have funds that invest with corporations like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Elbit Systems, companies that either directly provide defense technology and equipment or are otherwise involved in the global military-industrial complex."

Should I be surprised that only half the students showed up for class #1 at the college? (is is a diploma cohort, so no dropping here)
