Yale, following report, narrows its mission statement to focus on knowledge A new Yale mission statement excludes the goal of “improving the world” and other language included in its precursor — in line with a faculty committee’s recent proposal to rebuild public trust. The statement was changed on Thursday, according to Yale President Maurie McInnis. By Leo Nyberg & Aria Lynn-Skov | 3:38 p.m., April 30, 2026 Staff Reporters

Artist Spotlight: Amy Sherald and the Hard Work of Simply Being By Tim Gihring June 16, 2025-For the past few months, in the opening gallery of Mia's "Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys" exhibition, two men have been popping wheelies. Their dirt bikes are angled skyward. One man holds on with a single hand, the other man has let go entirely. There is no ground beneath them, no buildings or horizon, only the blue of sky, as though these two young Black bikers have managed to defy the gravity of everyday life. Amy Sherald painted them in 2022 on two enormous canvases, facing each other, a diptych she called Deliverance. They were part of the urban dirt bike scene in Baltimore, which Sherald came to know while studying for her MFA in the early 2000s. The bikers-mostly people of color-would ride in rambunctious pelotons, weaving through traffic and, well, popping wheelies. "Most people consider them a nuisance," Sherald says in a new video about these paintings and their subjects, "but I think there is something so fantastic about their ability to teach themselves these highly skilled ways of riding these dirt bikes. A lot of times their hands are off the bike. There's a sense of freedom." Recently, when Baltimore began cracking down on the riders, Sherald posted an image of her diptych to social media. "I remain in awe of their skillz," she wrote. Amy Sherald (American, born 1973), Deliverance, 2022, oil on linen. The Dean Collection, courtesy of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys. © Amy Sherald.

nifmuhammad → 1h Joni Mitchell's Blackface Era (which, depending on how flexible you are with the definition of Blackface, started in 1974 and... has never ended) in her own words is really some of the wildest stuff to read - this is from 1976, when she said "I saw a black man on the street and he was so cool that I decided to dress up in blackface" "I was walking down Hollywood Boulevard, in search of a costume for a Halloween party when I saw this black guy with a beautiful spirit walking with a bop... As he went by me he turned around and said, "Ummmm, mmm... looking good sister, lookin' good!" Well I just felt so good after he said that. It was as if this spirit went into me. So I started walking like him. I bought a black wig, I bought sideburns, a moustache. I bought some pancake makeup. It was like 'I'm goin' as him!'[5]"
Panel and Q&A - Johns Hopkins, AEI, and “Viewpoint Diversity”: What Universities Owe to the Truth Last year, Johns Hopkins University announced its partnership with the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a right-wing think tank known for its significant contributions to the articulation of conservative American politics in the past decades. At the same time, universities nationwide are under fire for pushing left-wing ideology, lambasted for discriminatory "cancel culture", and lacking viewpoint diversity, resulting in slashed federal funding and extreme censorship across the board. What should we make of this institution's partnership during such a strenuous time for academic institutions? This event brings together a panel of speakers to discuss questions of academic diversity, the role of think tanks in university settings, and other impacts we might expect from Hopkins' new partnership with AEI. Join us for a moderated panel discussion to learn about AEI and interdisciplinary and community perspectives on Johns Hopkins' partnership. Panelists will include Lisa Siraganian (Comparative Thought & Literature), Nathan Connolly (History), Ana María Rule (Environmental Health and Engineering), and an organizer with Sacred Parks and Waterways. Moderators are graduate workers April Ma (Political Science) and Sonia Dhawan (Environmental Health and Engineering) followed by a Q&A session. This event is co-sponsored by the Chloe Center and Teachers and Researchers United (TRU-UE 197). Monday, March 9 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM Levering Great Hall

Young people do appear less polarized than older populations. While older respondents are more likely to report avoiding conversations with people who hold opposing political views, younger respondents are more likely to say they have engaged in conversations across political differences or made efforts to get to know people with opposing views. Related questions reveal further differences in how generations view political opponents. Older respondents are more likely than younger respondents to describe members of the opposing party as "evil" or "less than human."
The culture war engulfing the halftime show overlooks this larger reality. The NFL did not choose Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio to make a political statement, and when President Donald Trump instigated MAGA backlash over the decision, the league declined to legitimize the squawking. It’s all because Benito, as his fans call him with infectious warmth, gets this American game closer to something it has never fully achieved on its own: a product with rhythm that doesn’t require translation, a sound that travels through the air faster than any spiral, an artist who literally makes the world move.
Peace in Baltimore

"Deborah Borda, who has served as president and chief executive of the New York Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, said the upheaval confronting Noseda and his orchestra was 'a microcosm of what’s happening in the country today, with things being politicized that weren’t politicized before.'

After thoughtful consideration, I have decided to withdraw my Symphony No. 15 "Lincoln" from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Symphony No. 15 is a portrait of Abraham Lincoln, and the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony. Therefore, I feel an obligation to withdraw this Symphony premiere from the Kennedy Center under its current leadership. Philip Glass
