I wrote this piece in The Nation about the cuts at WVU and how small states will crush their R1 unis to cash grab for big tech. WVU is the only R1 in WV and these cuts will shred higher ed in the state. Please read and share. (A thread)

The Evisceration of a Public University

West Virginia University is being gutted, and it’s a preview for what’s in store for higher education.

Book bans ALWAYS fail. And generally the books sell gazillions more copies, bringing more attention to the object of the white tears. But more than that, book bans and other local cultural wars show us where fascists think they have power to define the limits of the public good.

Book bans make white people feel IN CONTROL, so they can consolidate a narrative among their in-group. But the effect of that is also raising awareness outside of that in-group, so that people mobilize to defend institutions of free speech (like schools and libraries).
