    could be perceived as antisemitic

    Ironic that the unhinged right is gleefully all about being actually antisemitic, and falsely labels any criticisms of Israel’s policies as “antisemitic”.

    And yet…you still see “centrists” completely deluded by this…

    The night before the presentation, she said she got a call from the vice chair of the education department who had raised concerns with the contents.

    A couple of the slides in her presentation touched on the casualties in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war as well as the cuts at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Liu said she was told the slides about Gaza “could be perceived as antisemitic” while the USAID section might be perceived as “anti governmental.”

    Liu, who was already in New York when she got the call, offered to make edits to those slides but then three hours later, after some deliberations, she said the university apologized and said they had to cancel.

    It’s appalling to see how quickly American higher ed bent over for the fascists. Why would anybody study there? Come to Canada or the EU instead.

      I’m hoping relations can cling on long enough for me to get to Sweden to study! If all goes well I’ll never have to come back to the US

        Definitely come! Let me know if you have any questions about the system. I’m a citizen, and I only did my undergrad so far, but I’m happy to help fellow American immigrants make their way here.

          Everything to do with finding housing has so far been the most difficult to figure out for me x.x Part of it I don’t know where I would be moving to yet, it’ll all depend where I may be accepted to which I should know within a couple weeks
