Today in Writing History May 10, 1933: The Nazis staged massive public book burnings, beginning in Berlin, with students from Humboldt University, destroying thousands of titles. German poet, Heinrich Heine, said back in the early 1800s, "Where one burns books, one will soon burn people." They burned books written by Jewish, half-Jewish, communist, socialist, anarchist, liberal, pacifist, lgbtq and sexologist authors. The first books burned were those of Karl Marx and Karl Kautsky. Many of the books that were burned were seized from the library of Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, director of the Institute for Sexual Science (Institut für Sexualwissenschaft), which the Nazis raided in Berlin on May 6, 1933.

@Amgine asks, inspired by invitations from European institutions to "poach" US-based researchers:

Q3a. Is there a PhD in human-powered transportation?
Q3b. Totally understand how the Heritage Foundation's drive to destroy #HigherEd is terrorizing (#cyclist) #students already in the system. How many are considering studying abroad?
Q3c. Are non-student bike people feeling pressure to migrate, too?

Columbia Will Pay Survivors of Abusive Doctor $750 Million After ProPublica Revealed University’s Failures
—

The sweeping deal means the Ivy League school’s settlements will total more than $1 billion for over 1,000 claims of sexual abuse by former patients of OB-GYN Robert Hadden, who worked at the university for 20 years despite decades of complaints.

It was developed by Conor Fennessy, a staff member in #ElonMusk’s #DOGE, acc/to 2 people w/direct knowledge of the plan. Similar lists of grant eliminations are being developed in other parts of the Dept of the #Interior….

At the #NPS, the DOGE plan proposes eliminating #ScientistsInParks, a popular program that places #students & early-career #scientists at natural & historic landmarks to help protect #ecosystems.

Wow! A stunning read - thank you so much for formulating & sharing this & all power to your students & yourself. This resonates so loud & clear:

“I think no one really wants to have a whole generation of people who know how to fake it and phone it in and debate me bro but no idea what they're talking about. I truly believe that the students we graduate who actually read and think and write for themselves will stand out like floodlights, and will likely… be the ones who can pursue anything they want. But the gamble they are taking is reading and thinking and then being led by a generation of zombies, and it scares them.”

They will be floodlights as you are. 🙂

#Trump, a [purely self-interested] #Republican, is also trying to #deport some pro-Palestinian #international #students at #US #schools, saying their presence could *harm* US #ForeignPolicy interests [utter crap].

The #protesters in the library also demanded the release of #MahmoudKhalil, a #Palestinian activist & #Columbia graduate student who remains in a Louisiana immigrant #jail after he was among the first to be #arrested for #deportation.

The #university said 34 #protesters were #arrested, & charges of trespassing, property destruction & disorderly conduct were referred to prosecutors.

On Wed, it said the 21 #students who were among those arrested have been #suspended & #banned from all of the school's campuses.

#Columbia was at the forefront of a pro-#Palestinian & anti-war student #protest movement that swept across US campuses last year over #Israel's war in #Gaza, which began in 2023.

An #NYPD spox confirmed "multiple arrests" of #protesters who occupied the library but did not provide an exact number.

Before police arrived, #Columbia #University public safety personnel were seen locking the front doors to the library, preventing any more #students from entering the building & sparking a brief episode of pushing & shoving outside.

One student appeared to have been injured in the fracas. Another individual was seen being carried out of the bldg on a stretcher.

≧40–50 #students, their hands cuffed w/plastic zip-ties, were seen being loaded into #NYPD vans & buses outside #ButlerLibrary as officers swept through 6 six-story bldg to round up other #protesters who refused to leave.

#Police arrived on campus in force at the request of #Columbia ofcls who said the student demonstrators occupying the library's 2nd-floor main reading room were engaged in trespassing.

Many #students & #faculty justifiably feel that these #schools failed to take #harassment of #Jews seriously enough during the protests that erupted after the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack on #Israel by #Hamas. By centering its critique on that issue, the #Trump admin was cannily appropriating for its own ends one of the progressive left’s highest priorities: protecting a minority from hostile acts.

Now, however, the mask is off.
