Judge Rules Trump Can’t Cut UC Funding — but UC Leaders Are Still Negotiating a Settlement

Ugh, can't even believe what's happening in academia right now 🤯. Like, the Trump admin was literally trying to control what people could say on campus, and a judge just shut them down for good 💪. It's about time someone stood up for free speech and academic freedom - we can't have our universities being run like some sort of corporate sweatshop 🚫.

And honestly, I think the UC system is doing the right thing by keeping settlement talks going, even if it means appeasing the Trump admin a bit. At least they're not giving in to these outrageous demands yet 😅. But seriously, this whole situation is super concerning and highlights just how precarious higher ed has become right now 📉.

I mean, have you seen the salaries of all those execs running around universities? Like, while humanities departments are getting cut left and right, those guys are raking it in 💸. It's just not fair to students and faculty who actually care about education. We need to get back to prioritizing knowledge over profit 📚.

Anyway, I'm so glad we have folks like the ones involved in this case fighting for our rights as students and scholars. It's gonna take a community effort to save academia from corporate greed 👫💪.
 
🚨 The courts just gave the University of California a major win in defending itself against Trump's attempts to silence them on campus issues 🙌💪 I'm loving how this case shows that when workers and students come together, they can take on powerful administrations and protect academic freedom 🤝📚 It's crazy to think about how the current state of higher ed is so precarious - wealthy schools cutting programs left and right 🤑👎 But it's not just about money, it's about corporate interests taking over 🚫💸 The decision highlights that community-driven activism is key to fighting back against these authoritarian attacks 💥🔥
 
I'm so relieved about this decision, but it's a bit worrying for me as a parent 🤞. I worry that universities are becoming too big and bureaucratic, and it's harder for professors to do their jobs without some kind of oversight. As a parent, I want my child to have the freedom to explore different ideas and perspectives, even if they challenge mine. It sounds like this case is really about protecting speech on campus and academic freedom, which is so important for that. I'm glad the judge saw through the Trump administration's attempts to bully universities into silencing dissent. 🙌
 
this ruling is a huge win for free speech and academic freedom 🙌... but let's not get too excited yet. the fact that UC leaders are still in settlement talks with the admin suggests they're worried about being seen as 'woke' or something, you know? like, what's next? them trying to censor climate change research or something? 🤣

and what about the real victims here - low-income students who can't get into those fancy phd programs because of economic pressure? shouldn't we be fighting for their right to education too? 🤑

i'm all for faculty governance and stronger community involvement, but let's not forget that this is just one case. there are so many more ways in which corporate interests are bleeding into academia... like, have you seen the salaries of those top execs at public universities lately? 💸 it's like they're getting paid to undermine academic freedom

anyway, kudos to the judges and activists who fought for this win. but let's keep pushing for real change, not just tokenistic gestures 🎉
 
🤔 The whole thing feels super fishy to me... like they're trying to stifle free speech and academic freedom just because some people don't agree with their views. 🙄 I'm all for a healthy debate, but when it's used as an excuse to silence marginalized voices, that's a problem. 💯 And what's with the settlement talks? Is UC really that desperate to appease the Trump admin? 🤑 It's like they're more worried about keeping their jobs than fighting for what's right. 😒
