Re the shocking detention of Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, I refer you to Dan Kennedy’s post from Thursday.  This really is a free-speech issue. It’s also a sign that the Trump administration, in its own uniquely weird and indirect way, is enforcing its own version of campus ‘speech codes,’ ‘triggers,’ and ‘safe spaces.’ … I really hope FIRE eventually takes a strong stand on the high-profile Ozturk case. So far it hasn’t, as far as I can tell.

On another academic-detention front, Adam Gaffin proves once again it’s hard to beat a Universal Hub headline: “Russian researcher who fled dictatorship and got a job at Harvard Medical School now in Louisiana gulag pending possible deportation back to Russia.”
