Timothy Snyder, Marci Shore, and Jason Stanley are getting the hell out. Canada ho!
Like perifascist Hungary, we are beginning to experience a brain drain, mes petites.

I think people and institutions are still dazed and a bit in denial.
Columbia has been battered by so much catastrophe in the last year or so that I’m guessing it’s a ship adrift at this point and really can’t respond coherently to what’s happening to it. As to Yale, it would certainly be nice if it could get off its ass and start speaking out. Universities around the world are poaching its faculty.

I’ll plead guilty to having faith – until recently – in the basic soundness of our political institutions.
Yes, it was intellectual vigor plus tolerance of/curiosity about global cultures that made America the most sought-after place for talented people around the world. Also we have lots of money. Thanks to our current president that’s all going away.

No plans to go, but I’m part of EU (via my Polish husband) so there are many possibilities for us if we do decide to leave.

Is Yale at this pass in part because a few overwrought students drove the Christakises out over a Hallowe’en memo? How long ago was that? There’s more than a few Trumpian yahoos sapping the intellectual vigor at work, particularly where the Ivies are concerned.

Good point. The fringier reaches of woke have somewhat depopulated places like Yale too.

Indeed, and crossing my screen this morning is a story about Helyeh Doutaghi being excused from Yale. The College Fix types are spiking the football over it. The conflicts go on; I have a railroad to work on.
