The American university system is in deep political trouble—deeper than most people realize, especially people inside academia. MAGA has for over a year been planning a frontal assault against research universities, and there is every reason to think that the adverse consequences of that project, as currently undertaken by Trump, will last decades, if not forever. From the perspective of saving the university, the timing could not be worse.

I see my discourse leaves you cold;Dear kids, I do not take offense;Recall: the Devil, he is old,Grow old yourselves, and he'll make sense!- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust, Part IOne of the MAGA’s biggest misconceptions about American academia is that it’s ideologically homogeneous or a unified political bloc. This misconception stems from the fact that conservatives — and especially reactionaries — are rare in high-prestige universities.

Nils GilmanSpecial to CalMattersIn the wake of the disastrous fires that engulfed Los Angeles last month, the most immediate reaction of policymakers has been to focus on measures to help the victims and to streamline what will inevitably be a long rebuilding process. Most of these proposals address acute and immediate regulatory and policy failures, such as misguided environmental regulations, mismanaged insurance markets and molasses-slow permitting processes for new construction.

Each year in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, around 25 infant gorillas are named and celebrated in the Kwita Izina ceremony, modelled on the country’s baby-naming tradition. The event attracts world leaders, celebrities and wildlife champions, and the rangers, trackers, veterinarians, and local communities who protect and care for Rwanda’s gorilla population every day.

As early adopters, Rwanda’s gorillas are pioneers in what we believe can become a new model for human-wildlife economic collaboration. The main justification for interspecies money is that it largely passes from the beneficiary species to human service providers, because if it does not work for people, it will not work for animals. This requires equity across species and communities.
