Professor @philewell is taking on White supremacism in music schools, and for that he is slandered in pleadings filed in federal court in Texas. If anybody should be suing it's Black students who can't get a diploma without being required to study almost all White music.
The craziest lawsuit in Texas since ....
the Texas Attorney General sued over the Pennsylvania election results....
insidehighered.com/news/2021/01/2…
If music schools around the Country look at all like the School of Music at the University of Minnesota @philewell definitely has a point.
This is a rough estimate, but if music school faculties reflected contributions of Blacks to music that Americans actually listen to, music faculties would be 30% to 50% Black. @philewell has a point. at least a point not worth denigrating in federal court in Texas.

GameStop anyone at 80.98?
Or better last Friday at 325.00?
Stock trading sometimes has little to do with fundamental value.
Level headed commentary on real facts, market manipulation and needed reform from Minnesota Law Review editor @CEpstein15 here:
minnesotalawreview.org/category/denov…
Just loving those peaks and valleys. Who do you think is shorting at the peaks? Hmmm....

Glad you didn't buy GameStop six hours ago for $80.98 or last week for $325.00? It's now trading at $53.50.
Would someone care to explain again the "Efficient Capital Market Hypothesis"?
That's the theory that "law and economics" types use to justify not regulating markets....

A Black professor criticizes an Austrian music theorist who denigrated Blacks and praised Hitler. A journal in Texas viciously attacks the Black professor, and the White journal editor sues in Texas. Now this British commentator sides with the White guy.

Comments are open. Let him know what you think. This attitude is terrible for the reputation of classical music.
This U.K. Slipped Disc website has promoted sexist and racist views in the name of classical music for decades. Also distorted justifications for criminal conduct of at least one music world donor convicted of multiple felonies in the United States. It's time to say enough!

Just released documents reveal effort to shortchange University of Minnesota students in room and board refunds after COVID-19 shutdown. Some Regents object. Approval process circumvented. Georgia consulting firm brought in to help defend action.
Amazing.
publicrecordmedia.org/documents-u-st…
"One member of the school’s Board of Regents, in a private e-mail, called the university “pandemic profiteers” for not giving students more money as the school stood to get millions in federal pandemic aid."
Yup.
“It’s hard to say” how many students were complaining, Gabel said in a March 24 e-mail to Brian Curtis, the head of the consulting company, Paradigm Four. Curtis was a former TV sports reporter who had written several sports-themed books ...."

The federal Court Complaint Para. 50 states: "Professor Jackson cited studies showing that blacks are more likely than whites to hold anti-Semitic views. Jackson Aff. Ex. C at JACKSON000159."
A right wing racist lie, now filed in federal court in Texas.
insidehighered.com/news/2021/01/2…
This lawsuit supported by the right wing Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) includes Texas lawyers sending "retraction" demand letters to music graduate students around the Country after they stood up for a Black professor attacked in a Texas based journal. Sad.
“It is time that Germans freed themselves from the illusion that all men and all nations are equal,” Heinrich Schenker wrote in the 1930's.
Warning: If you criticize that or Americans who support Schenker today you could get sued in Texas.

This wrong argument that Twitter and Facebook are state actors and can't suspend Trump is made by a businessman who is contemplating a GOP Senate run in Ohio and a law professor suspended from teaching for 2 years over sexual harassment. Pathetic.
foxnews.com/opinion/twitte…
Attack Twitter and Facebook for suspending Trump.
A great way to win over every insurrectionist in Ohio for your Senate run.
And the rest of the voters? Nope.
bizjournals.com/cincinnati/new…
If you can't challenge your own two-year suspension from teaching at Yale over sexual harassment allegations, spend the two years attacking Twitter and Facebook for suspending Donald Trump.

Big punishment for a bad boy. Goldman Sachs CEO only paid $17.5 million in annual compensation because a big scandal cost Goldman $3 billion.
Huh?
Should have been $0 and claw back of his $27 million from the previous year.

cnn.com/2021/01/26/bus…
"In Better Bankers, Better Banks, Claire A. Hill and Richard W. Painter ... [argue that] Bankers must be personally liable from their own assets for some portion of the bank’s losses from excessive risk-taking and illegal behavior."
Example: Goldman Sachs.
press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book…
2016 NYT coverage of Better Bankers, Better Bankers is here.
Hint: A $17.5 million annual CEO payout (down from $27 million) at Goldman Sachs because of a scandal that cost Goldman $3 billion doesn't cut it. Try $0 for both years.
