You know what’s better? Not paying $75 million & getting $700. Why did they pay it?
What choices were there, Trump wasn't going to allow it to be given. Too many conflate any criticism of Israel with antisemitism. They are not the same thing.
maybe they’ll rub off on the rest of us.If they're here and they are citizens and want to be Americans, I don't care where they came from.@bradstevens I mean, sure. But even the American schools in the comp are dominated by Asian and Indian immigrants. we are falling behind.

Before I made the mistake of attending law school, I spent a few years in graduate school, and I met a lot of foreigners, as you might expect. A handful of them very much wanted to be Americans. But another handful of them very much did not. They wanted to use our school to get a degree and then take it back to the mother country for her benefit.
Yes, I'm mostly referring to Chinese students here, from both Chinas.
More than that went on. School administrations have already admitted that.Too many conflate any criticism of Israel with antisemitism. They are not the same thing.
The reason these universities settled is because they had real exposure both on the antisemitism front and the DEI/affirmitive action front that violated Title VII and Sec. 1981 of the 1866 act. Just like the law firms that settled those claims. They went overboard, got caught up in the hysteria of "anti-racism" and the Trump admin took advantage of the fact that this Supreme Court isn't going to allow that stuff to fly anymore.
Trump can be a bad guy, promote bad policy, and use outrageous tactics AND these institutions can have legal exposure on various things, too. Both facts can be true--we don't have to bury our heads in the sand about this.
I will gladly sire some half-white, half-Chinese or -Indian babies with the right immigrants.maybe they’ll rub off on the rest of us.If they're here and they are citizens and want to be Americans, I don't care where they came from.@bradstevens I mean, sure.

I tried to stop it by getting them pregnant, but it turns out I'm not very good with Asian women.
Hopefully not too many babies in the bathwater
As iGEM teams filled the floor this year at the Paris convention center, one thing was easy to see.
Janet Standeven: In the United States this year, we have 14 high school iGEM teams. Asia has 120.
Janet Standeven runs iGEM's international high school division. Before this, she taught at Lambert, created its iGEM program and helped it win the grand prize in 2022.
Bill Whitaker: Are you thinking to yourself, "This needs to be in every school?"
Janet Standeven: Yes. Oh. It-- that's been our goal since day one is let's start with Georgia as a little test bid and see what we can do here.
She left Lambert three years ago after securing federal funding to take synthetic biology to high schools all across Georgia. But the Trump administration cut the money, claiming it fell under DEI – diversity, equity and inclusion. A judge temporarily restored the funding, but Standeven told us she's not sure it will extend beyond 2026.
Saw this on 60 minutes last night. We are woefully far behind. Cutting funding and identifying it as DEI doesn't sound surgical.
