6 years ago, Congressional Republicans & @GOP tried to drag my research, and my name, through the mud. I've never told this story, but now it's time. I also made a video about it, which you can check out here: THREAD /1
A bit of background: I wrote a book called the Chinese Typewriter, which came out @mitpress a few years back. A history of Chinese information technology from the 1930s to the 1950s. A sequel to the book, all about Chinese computing, is coming @mitpress as well. /2
When I was still an untenured Assistant Professor @Stanford I was feverishly applying for sabbatical grants (I'm sure many readers know the feeling). One of the grants I applied for was the @NSF grant for humanists and social scientists /3

.@Stanford Provost Persis Drell has just released the report re: @stanfordpress by her hand-picked comm. The other committee reviewing SUP, appointed by Stanford Faculty Senate, is still conducting its investigation. Read Provost report here: provost.stanford.edu/wp-content/upl… @aupresses
@Stanford @stanfordpress @aupresses cc @gewang @palumboliu @adriandaub @chronicle
@Stanford @stanfordpress @aupresses @gewang @palumboliu @adriandaub @chronicle "While the relationship between Stanford and its Press has some elements of the most successful presses, both the University and the Press have failed systematically to aspire to, and reach, this standard."

At the 6/13 @Stanford senate mtg, the debate re: the @stanfordpress motion took (at least) 60 minutes out of the 120-minute session, or 50%. In the @Stanford Report article, it was given 203 words out of an 1881-word article, or 11%.
A #GradStatement was read aloud for ~5 mins, or 4% of the overall session. In the Stanford Report retelling, it was given 0 words, or 0% docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… @stanfordpress @Stanford
.@Stanford Provost @PersisDrell spoke for perhaps 5 minutes, followed by 0 questions, for about 4% of the overall session (same amt of time as the Grad Statement above) - and yet the @Stanford Report allotted 390 words, or 20% of the entire article.
