CA legislature on verge of passing bill to require colleges & univs to defy the new TIX regs by prohibiting x-exam; & to give schools authority to defy various CA appellate rulings by not even providing a hearing.
leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billText… Image
Measure passed the Senate 30-8 (though before key amendments were included); has passed key House committees.
leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVote…
Incredibly, the bill is sold on grounds it will provide greater "clarity."
Implementation date isn't until 2022 (w/apparent hope that regs will be gone by then). No mention of policy on giving schools a choice to hold a hearing at all as violating CA court decisions. Image
Other components of the bill--a requirement for "trauma-informed" *investigations* & required training in "trauma-informed investigatory and hearing practices practices." The bill doesn't identify what "trauma-informed" practices are; or how they would provide "impartial" invns. Image
Univ of Cal system endorses bill w/odd "clarity" argument--criticizes new regs, makes no mention of existing requirements under state court decisions or whether CA legislature has authority to override state court decisions. Image

Judge Lippman's report about CUNY's antisemitism procedures is now out.
"[R]ecently there has been an alarming number of unacceptable antisemitic incidents targeting members of the CUNY community." Image
"However, some faculty can and should do more to promote dialogue between those with differing viewpoints on critical issues and to encourage peaceful solutions to disagreements rather than inflame conflict, which we often found to be the case." Image
Lippman notes that most CUNY students aren't in any way hateful: "Antisemitism and discrimination that exist on CUNY campuses are carried out by a small, vocal minority of individuals." Image

The Columbia antisemitism support suggests a deeply flawed campus culture: “One student captured more than 750 antisemitic online posts written by Columbia students and organizations.”
"Students reported being told 'Kill your fucking self. And I’ll fucking kill you.'”

“we have heard that students have been referred to counseling and psychological services—which they correctly understood as implying that they just need to learn to accept and cope with antisemitic experiences.” Image
Striking number of instances of physical assault against Jewish students. Image

Stanford antisemitism committee unanimously concludes: "antisemitism exists today on the Stanford campus in ways that are widespread and pernicious."

Also: "Whether one equates anti-Zionism with antisemitism by definition, these two biases are in fact closely intertwined."

Report notes that many of the Jewish students targeted were on the political left. Image
Problems occurred in the classroom as well: Image

Quite an opening anecdote in this richly reported @TheAtlantic piece on Stanford after Oct. 7. Image
Interesting analysis here--which I'm not sure fully explains *why* the average student has changed (or why the average student wasn't horrified by the events of Oct. 7). Image
Fascinating excerpt w/prominent anti-Israel prof--who either dissembles about his position or is simply Orwellian in his language. Image

The key argument in antisemitism lawsuit filed today against @MIT: "MIT tolerated discriminatory, harassing speech that it had expressly not tolerated in other comparable situations." Image
Lawsuit alleges selective enforcement claim--rules enforced against Jewish and pro-Israel students but not against non-Jewish and anti-Israel students.
Allegation re harassment of Jewish profs is troubling. Image
Complaint unsurprisingly cites troubling incident where MIT acknowledged that anti-Israel protesters violated MIT rules, but then declined to move forward on discipline due to "visa" issues. Image

A short thread, with audio, on 1964, the anomaly in @JMilesColeman's excellent piece on Senate/presidential ticket-splitting, which usually has benefited Dems.
In 1964, the GOP won six Senate races (CA, DE, HI, NE, PA, VT) in states carried by LBJ.
For LBJ the most consequential was Delaware: “I want to beat this son-of-a-bitch [John] Williams.”
LBJ was even willing to do a deal with RFK (clip below) where LBJ agreed to extra time campaigning for RFK in NYC if RFK mobilized civil rights leaders against Wiliams.
In three other states—CA, HI, PA—party divisions undid the Dems. PA was especially notable—legal fights over an exceptionally close primary weakened nominee Genevieve Blatt, who would have become the first woman elected to the Senate who hadn’t succeeded her husband in Congress. Image
