The board replaced the elected senate with a new Presidential Academic Advisory Council, a hybrid body where half the members are appointed by the president and half are elected by colleges, designed to provide advisory input rather than shared governance”

"I don't understand because progressives should love Israel," said Handler, who has visited the Jewish state, met and interviewed former President Shimon Peres, and even headlined a comedy fundraiser in Tel Aviv in 2015. Tishby then listed the ways in which Israel is the only democracy and progressive country in the Middle East, where its citizens have free speech, freedom of religion, and the ability to criticize the government. "Do you like gay weddings? You know the fun kind without straight people. So does Israel," Handler added. She also jokingly said, "I love to ski topless [and] I would like to continue doing so" when Tishby noted that Israel offers women rights that other countries in the region do not.

"The National Trust for Historic Preservation" is a beautiful name, but even their name is FAKE because when they add the words "in the United States" to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, it makes it sound like a Governmental Agency, which it is not. In fact, the United States refused to continue funding it in 2005 because they strongly disagreed with their mission and objectives. They are very bad for our Country.

Dear Heba, We want to begin by sincerely thanking the ASA membership for the thoughtful, engaged conversations that have occurred over the last three weeks. The care and energy so many members have brought to these discussions reflects how much this association matters to sociologists and how invested we are as a community in its future. We received a wide range of feedback regarding the March 12 email with members expressing support, concern, and questions about the member petition process. We also understand that there is some frustration about the limits of what our association can do to influence global challenges. This email is narrowly focused on clarifying our bylaws. However, there is an intentional, ongoing discussion among Council about key issues, including how we might broadly support Palestinian and other scholars under attack. That discussion reflects understanding on the part of ASA leadership that improved communication to minimize confusion and frustration about policy and process is paramount for the health of our association. In 2023, the membership voted to amend Article 2, Section 9 of our bylaws to clarify that members can petition the association regarding public policy positions only. The amendment was intended to preserve members’ ability to influence ASA’s positions on public policy, while also reaffirming that operational decisions remain under the purview of the elected members of Council. This distinction ensures that governance and operational decisions remain the responsibility of organizational fiduciaries who are legally obligated to the organization, which is standard and best practice for nonprofit associations.
But one incumbent was outraised last quarter: Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat, who brought in more than $230,000. His most prominent primary challenger, DA-backed Darializa Avila Chevalier, raised close to $270,000. (Espaillat still has far more on hand than her: $1 million to $220,000).

How unconscionable and undemocratic. For the sake of the feelings of people who support a genocide you're willing to stand on the wrong side of history, and truly hemorrhage members. Because to be clear, this decision you have made, and language you have used here, is wildly unpopular. What a miscalculation. If you do not step this back, you will go down as singlehandedly destroying this organization. That will be your legacy.

We are reaching out to the full membership to provide clarity about ASA's approach to public policy matters, the member petition process outlined in the ASA bylaws, and the impact of member actions on ASA. You may be aware that a member-led petition has been circulating online. Supported by 428 individuals, the petition calls for ASA to boycott Israeli academic institutions and proposes various actions for ASA to take in furtherance of this goal. The ASA Executive Office received the petition on March 3, 2026. You can review the full petition here. ASA regularly adopts public policy positions that advance the discipline by advocating for sociological research, teaching, practice, and funding. This includes positions like our winning lawsuit defending academic freedom, letters to Congress calling for robust financial support for the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies that fund sociological research, and initiating efforts that illuminate the vital role of sociologists and sociology departments in institutions of higher education and society, to name a few. This is by design. According to ASA policy, there are only two conditions under which ASA may take public positions on issues: if there is consensus in the sociological literature about a topic, or if the issue concerns the wellbeing of the discipline and profession. ASA bylaws do provide an avenue where "[voting members of the Association may take any action otherwise within the powers of the Council regarding public policy positions of the Association." This is the strategy that the recent petition creators attempted to utilize. ASA leadership, in consultation with ASA legal counsel, determined that the proposed petition actions fall outside of the scope for member petitions under Section 9 of the Bylaws. All of the proposed actions are governance matters related to ASA business operations and are therefore not petitionable. Only ASA Council can make decisions regarding ASA operational and gov…
"Last month, I spoke directly and clearly about where I stand. I recorded and posted an apology video on our social media accounts, taking responsibility for any hurt caused. I want to take this opportunity to again apologize for the hurt that I caused."
Community members have raised concern about resurfaced content shared on social media by Nicole Sigurdson, a candidate for Ohio House District 19. On her personal Instagram account in January 2025, Sigurdson shared an image of a Palestinian flag that read, "From the river to the sea Palestine will be free." She also shared a screenshot of a tweet by Heba Gowayed that read, "The anniversary of genocide is another day of genocide. I cannot believe this has gone on for a year. I cannot believe it's getting worse. And I cannot believe I walk through a world that funds, applauds, and accepts this - continues as it continues."

In 2000, the U.S. Congress passed landmark legislation to establish human trafficking crimes and create the T visa, an immigration benefit designed to protect immigrant survivors from deportation. On the twenty-fifth anniversary of the T visa, surprisingly little is known about how it functions and disparities in legal protection. This is especially concerning given the program's historic under-utilization, the relative lack of other avenues to legal status for survivors of human trafficking, and the program's more recent politicization. This Article presents the results of the first mixed method empirical study exploring how survivors of human trafficking and their lawyers experience the T visa process. Our findings suggest that, despite congressional intent, the T visa imposes unnecessary burdens on immigrant survivors, including learning, compliance, and psychological costs. Instead of alleviating fears of deportation, arrest, and reprisal, the program, by requiring that applicants interact with law enforcement and immigration officials, exposes them to the risks posed by these actors. Additionally, interviews with attorneys shed light on how, under the first Trump administration, immigration officials exploited the administrative application process impermissibly to raise the standard of proof, impose greater costs on applicants, and make it harder to access the T visa program, contributing to the program's underutilization. Finally, our findings reveal how these features create disparities in who can access T visas, making it more difficult for marginalized survivors, including those criminalized, in detention, or along the U.S.-Mexico border. Overall, the Article examines how, especially in a more hostile legal environment for immigrants, the T visa program is at risk of additional politicization and weaponization that undermines its goals. The Article suggests ways to enhance access to the T visa and help the program better achieve its humanitarian objectives

Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.

5:51 < A Message from... ^ HUNTER The City University of New York Message from the President Dear Hunter College community members, I write to share an update about actions that Hunter College is taking as a result of the incident during a recent virtual meeting of the New York City School District 3 Community Education Council in which abhorrent remarks were heard coming from a district parent who also is a Hunter employee. As I shared earlier, we are investigating this matter under the university's applicable conduct and nondiscrimination policies, which are described here. Pending the outcome of our investigation, the employee has been placed on leave. I take this opportunity to reiterate that support is available to all in the Hunter community who feel the need for it at this time. Students may reach out to Counseling Services, whose contact information is available here; faculty and staff may reach out to our Employee Assistance Program here.

RAMOS SNUBBED: The Queens County Democratic Party dealt a serious blow to state Sen. Jessica Ramos' reelection bid. District leaders within the party voted Monday not to carry her name on county petitions that will be circulated on Feb. 24, two people familiar with the matter told Playbook. The move signals she has little support within the county party and can't rely on its funds or volunteers to get on the primary ballot. Ramos did not respond to a request for comment. The Jackson Heights lawmaker faces a primary challenge from Assemblymember Jessica González-Rojas, who announced her intention to oust Ramos in the weeks after Mamdani's primary victory.

Rep. Tom Suozzi O 11h • I failed to view the DHS funding vote as a referendum on the illegal and immoral conduct of ICE in Minneapolis. I hear the anger from my constituents, and I take responsibility for that. I have long been critical of ICE's unlawful behavior and I must do a better job demonstrating that. The senseless and tragic murder of Alex Pretti underscores what happens when untrained federal agents operate without accountability. President Trump must immediately end "Operation Metro Surge" and ICE's occupation of Minneapolis that has sown chaos, led to tragedy, and undermined experienced local law enforcement. 2.3K 3.8K

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING update: Hakeem Jeffries sounded the alarm. Barack Obama broke his silence. And Nancy Pelosi called us to action. The GOP is THREATENING our democracy as we know it, and Trump's MAGA House Republicans could DISMANTLE all of our progress if they keep power for a full four years. Will you answer Top Democrats' dire warnings by rushing an $3 gift right now? If we can reach 29,341 gifts before midnight, we could OUTRAISE House Republicans, hand them a MASSIVE loss, and make Hakeem, Barack, and Nancy. proud by reclaiming the Majority. Will you step up right now? 可
