Yesterday three NYU colleagues were arrested supporting and observing a student protest. One of those colleagues is now being told that she may not be able to return to faculty housing.
Other colleagues have been declared personas non grata, and cannot come on campus for any reason, including teaching their classes.
This is anticipatory obedience and it is going to get worse.
@lavaeolus but please do, just so it reaches more eyeballs.
dinnae fash--we are organizing! :)
@lavaeolus not panicking yet, but...it's not good.
When I lectured my Berlin students this semester on the fall of the Weimar Republic, the parallels were undeniable...
@lavaeolus A light brown wooden door has a black-framed piece of tape and two pieces of paper attached to it. The top piece of paper is a black and white reproduction of a painting of a man in robes, accompanied by German text. Below it is a white piece of paper with a black logo — a stylized hand inside a circle with a ring around it — and the text "DON'T PANIC" above "ORGANIZE!". A silver door handle is visible on the left side of the door.
