I still believe the university benefits from government funding since NSF, NIST, DoD etc are all agencies funding university research. I don’t think it’s possible to un-fund yourself completely from the government given that it spurs research everywhere.
Yes, anti-BDS laws. These were passed years ago (not reactionary to now). There are state and federal rules but in general, a university can’t boycott or divest from Israeli (or many other nations) in political protest or it loses funding.
I think this is why we see most universities have their hands tied.
Aren’t there laws that prevent Universities from doing so?
I thought the whole reason universities had their hands tied were the anti-BDS law. Maybe Brown is in a state (RI) where it won’t lose state funding, but losing federal funding would be a blow to the research orgs.
Probably miss their cushy Google salary.
Oh no consequences!
I was curious why this is effective.
The influence of artificial light in urban spaces is a well-known phenomenon among birds, but is still not fully understood. Birds tend to migrate by night, and use the stars to navigate. By day, they use the position of the Sun to orient themselves. During nocturnal migration, they are often seen gathering around or crashing into lit-up windows and structures, or gathering around beams of projected life. The artificial glow of cities also appears to attract them for stopovers. One explanation is that they may generally fly towards light sources, but also, that the artificial light confuses, traps and disorients them.
I wonder if it’s a deer in the headlights effect or more like moths?
Sorry your correct, I hadn’t previously seen the rest of the article because the read more button was dizzyingly hidden between ads.
He is claiming self defense and fearing for his life. Will be a tough case.
Not what I was saying, but since this trial is going to last a month, there is more information than we know. I’ve done jury duty for a murder/homicide case and that only lasted about a week.
Lol some of you people are sick.
I’m an immigrant myself, you guys need to slow your role. Neither am I a conservative nor preach the 2a. You can be curious about the technicalities of a case without picking a side. I’ve marched plenty for liberal social causes, but I have never seen so many SJWs ready to attack than on lemmy.
Wasn’t commenting that it was justified, but the ruling will come down to how the interaction happened. Did Kelly say please leave, did he open fire, did the migrants refuse and began approaching him? Was this at close range, far range? All these details are missing.
I’d be curious what the migrant was doing on his property and how the castle doctrine laws in Arizona come into play.
Finalllllyyy
I don’t know if anyone has been to Portugal recently, but it has gotten a lot worse.
Thank you!
Maybe it’s my client? Can you downvote me?
Why the fuck can’t we downvote in lemmy anymore is the real question?
Affirm is a big one. Bloomberg spent the past few weeks talking with the Affirm CEO.
I think that sentiment is the same why people ask why there aren’t more Linux user’s. Some people just don’t bother.
I can understand that people hold their college as some part of their soul and want their universities actions to reflect their political beliefs. But, I don’t think universities (as an entity) should be involved politically or have political opinions.
