I'm seeing some speculation in the comments that this video is AI. So it's worth noting that a statement from Morris Brown doesn't dispute its authenticity. But MB did say the video is "limited in context and edited." When I texted James about vid last week, he didn't respond.

He's back. A week after surprise termination, Morris Brown College has reinstated its president. Press release says his firing didn't comply with his employment agreement. Also alludes to "broader concerns" about workplace culture. Says MB will seek to restore transparency.

International student enrollment had been growing substantially in Georgia in recent years, rising by at least 1,200 each fall. But this semester, just 295 more enrolled. The slowdown could be a sign that Trump's policies are turning them away from US. ajc.com/education/2025…

At Georgia Tech, a candlelight vigil for Charlie Kirk. One of at least three memorials planned at Georgia colleges this week. Kirk profoundly impacted them. “He saw a spark in us that we couldn’t even see in ourselves.” GT Turning Point has seen surge in membership requests.

"Closing offices or reimagining lawful programs is not, after all, the same as ending our unwavering commitment to fairness, belonging, and opportunity for all, values that are part of Emory’s DNA," wrote Sears. "...we can follow the law while not losing sight of who we are."

Emory had embraced diversity efforts, winning multiple national awards. An institutional statement called diversity, "essential to advancing knowledge, addressing society’s most pressing issues, and attending to the full spectrum of human needs in service to the common good."

BREAKING: Emory will be discontinuing its DEI programs and offices, a response to "federal laws and mandates." "The standards are clear, and we must act accordingly," interim president Leah Ward Sears wrote to the Emory community.

Per @TheFIREorg, giving access to the full public instead of just students/parents could make faculty self-censor: "perhaps not putting on their syllabi the kind of information that would trigger outrage mobs or would trigger calls for termination.” ajc.com/education/2025…

Following some other GOP controlled states, Georgia will require public colleges make all course syllabi public. GA says it's to increase transparency for students/parents. But some experts think it'll lead to harassment of professors and could influence what they teach.

I’m at Emory University where there are reports of an active shooter. More than 50 cops cars here from various departments. Many carrying rifles and tactical gear. One man told me he saw a body covered by a tarp outside of the CDC building.

A federal judge has ordered the Trump admin to temporarily reinstate the immigration status of 133 international students, concluding there's "substantial public interest in ensuring government agencies abide by federal laws." Many appear targeted due to traffic violations.
