Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Deep Cuts: Indiana and Boston

The great shrinkage of the U.S. 

university, as we know it, 

is in process.International students

 are going to safer places  where 

they wouldn't be arrested and 

mishandled for progressive 

views.

The attack on DEI is taking its toll, too. 

The Trump administration is

clear about its intention to 

 undermine inclusivity in all

definitions of the term.

Anti- DEI policies are pretty much 

hostile towards  regions of the 

world outside of the U.S. - and the

diasporas and  the specialists 

associated with them.

Although local campus 

administrators may not necessarily 

want to gut regional studies,  cuts

in funding  make it difficult to 

do otherwise.

Well the Trump administration 

has been playing chess - while

we were playing Snakes& Ladders

and landed on the head of a snake.

That would be tragic.

I used to admire Indiana Comparative Literature. A very powerful program

Please pay attention to ongoing changes. Indians is far reaching, eliminating MA in African Studies and Comparative Literature. 25 per cent reduction in tenure track jobs. Boston eliminated over a hundred staff and no new faculty recruitment.
