HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: WITH THE ARRIVAL OF CONSEQUENCES, UNIVERSITIES REDISCOVER NEUTRALITY. Now Is The Time For Administrators to Embrace Neutrality. The Israel-Hamas war might finally show colleges the value of the Kalven Report.
I FIND YOUR TERMS ACCEPTABLE: WSJ Op-Ed: Don’t Hire My Anti-Semitic Berkeley Law Students. “The student conduct at Berkeley is part of the broader attitude against Jews on university campuses that made last week’s massacre possible. It is shameful and has been tolerated for too long. It’s time for the adults to take over, and that includes law firms looking for graduates to hire. … If you are a legal employer, when you interview students from Berkeley, Harvard, NYU or any other law school this year, ask them what organizations they belong to. Ask if they support discriminatory bylaws or other acts and resolutions blaming Jews and Israelis for the Hamas massacre. If a student endorses hatred, it isn’t only your right but your duty not to hire him. Do you want your clients represented by someone who condones these monstrous crimes?”
It appears adult supervision is on the way.

IT’S A BAD WEEK FOR THE IVY LEAGUE: Hard at Work for Hamas at Brown – No Longer a Hypothetical Problem. “The faculty of Middle East Studies at Brown, like most universities in the country, is comprised of the usual suspects. Typically brandishing PhDs from Georgetown, Columbia, or Berkeley, they engage in nonstop caterwauling about Israel. Settler colonialism, apartheid, occupation, Jews have no connection to, or place in, the region and the always popular comparison of Israel to Nazis are a few of the mantras they chant by rote. All are are yawn-inducing for any educated adult, but all are poisoning the college students they purport to ‘educate’.”

I DIDN’T REALIZE THEY TOOK SO MUCH FOR TESTS: Smaller blood draws in ICUs could prevent transfusions. “While the amount of blood drawn per tube is relatively small, ICU patients typically require multiple blood samples taken multiple times every day. This can add up to significant blood loss that contributes to anemia, or low red blood cells. ICU patients are unable to produce more red blood cells to correct for this blood loss and often require treatment with a blood transfusion.” Plus: “Most hospitals use standard tubes that automatically draw four to six milliliters (ml) of blood. But a typical laboratory test only requires less than 0.5 ml of blood.”
AS LONG AS IT’S NOT THE BERSERKERS: In the search for alien life, should we be looking for artificial intelligence?
TRYING TO SELL PEOPLE STUFF THEY DON’T WANT IS LIKE PUSHING ON A STRING: Automakers have big hopes for EVs; Buyers aren’t cooperating.
HIGHER EDUCATION HAS A HATE PROBLEM: Violence, threats, tears: Israeli supporters face aggressive pro-Palestinian campus protests nationwide.
HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Terrorist-loving students ask for ‘mental health support:’ Students from over 30 campus organizations at Harvard University are now dealing with the consequences of supporting Hamas terrorists. Higher ed is a toxic industry; these students are both victims and perpetrators.

IT’S COME TO THIS: The Hamas Lockdown. “On Friday Stanford Law School canceled in-person classes and moved all classes back to Zoom as they did during the COVID lockdown. Late last week Columbia University announced that it would limit campus access to student and staff ID holders only, after a Jewish student was beaten by a stick-wielding assailant. Elsewhere we have seen scenes of students and, at the University of Michigan, one faculty member, tearing down flyers of missing Israelis. Some Jewish students are having the Star of David scrawled on their dorm room doors. How soon before Students for Justice in Palestine demand that Jewish students wear a yellow Star of David on campus? (Don’t think this is farfetched; see below.)”
Tell them to fuck off.
Plus: “So, are colleges afraid that militant Jewish ‘colonizers’ are a violent threat on campuses? Of course not, though the conspicuous silence about just where the threat comes from speaks loudly. Call it the Hamas lockdown.”
