How often have I urged, joking less and less each time, to bulldoze the universities? After all, they’ve not just failed at their mission of enriching Western society, they’re actively destroying it. If it’s not Jewish students under attack, it’s the sciences, as unis platform anti-Semitic academics and peddle nonsensical post-modern bullshit about ‘indigenous science’ and ‘gender theory’.
Well, if no one here has got the guts to do, maybe the Donald will do it for us. Here’s hoping.
Top universities are calling on the government to strengthen research ties with Europe after US federal agencies sent ‘show cause’ notifications directly to their Australian research collaborators with questions about their links to China and their alignment with Donald Trump’s executive order on there being only two sexes.
What are they afraid of? Sounds like they’ve got something to hide.
This is not a hollow threat from the Trump administration, either.
Go8 universities, which carry out 70 per cent of Australia’s university research and list the US as its “single largest collaborative research partner”, have sought Australian government intervention on what they called a “show cause” questionnaire “to justify ongoing funding”.
Researchers were asked to be return it within 48 hours and that it would help support “program determinations”.
Cue sandstone bricks being shit in vice chancellors’ plush offices across the country.
Go8 universities received around $US161.6m ($256m) in grants from the NIH in the last financial year, which was 88 per cent of all NIH funding to Australian universities. The NIH falls under Robert F Kennedy’s health portfolio.
The administration also cancelled 33 research grants investigating vaccine hesitancy and will review mRNA vaccine projects.
No wonder academics here are panicking. Who knows what skeletons will fall out of which closets.
Some of those researchers sent the ‘show cause’ notification worked in the areas of vaccine and medicine, as well as defence and aid.
Here’s one question that would definitely be opening the million-dollar sphincters of the vice chancellors.
One question in the form asks: “Can you confirm that your organisation has not received ANY funding from PRC [People’s Republic of China] (including Confucius Institutes and/or partnered with Chinese state and non-state actors), Russia, Cuba or Iran.”
To which they’d have to, if they were honest at least, admit that they’ve trousered all the yuan they could get their grubby mitts on. They’ve all been on the take from the CCP – and it shows. Just ask former student Drew Pavlou, who was beaten by three Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS) operatives on campus and hounded for years by an inquisitorial university administration for daring to criticise China. His university received massive funding from China. The university also appointed CCP officials to official roles in its administration, include adjunct professorships.
There were also questions about diversity, equity and inclusion, including whether research projects comply with an executive order to only recognise two sexes, amid an edict from Mr Trump to ban DEI programs at colleges.
Another question asks: “Can you confirm that your organisation does not work with entities associated with communist, socialist or totalitarian parties, or any party that espouses anti-American beliefs.”
Does that include totalitarian parties who champion Hamas and anti-Semitism?
Four of Australia’s biggest universities are under investigation for anti-Semitism on campus, the tertiary education regulator has revealed during a fiery Senate inquiry that heard alarming allegations of bullying, wage theft and conflicts of interest.
The Australian National University, Macquarie University, Queensland University of Technology and the University of Sydney were named by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency as the targets of its “live compliance processes’’ relating to anti-Semitism complaints […]
Eleven universities in total were under investigation for a variety of alleged regulatory breaches, she said.
The revelation of a regulatory probe came after opposition education spokeswoman Senator Sarah Henderson blasted TEQSA for failing to take strong action against universities over “the really alarming issues we’ve seen with the safety of Jewish students and staff, with all of the protests and the encampments and the invasions of classrooms’’.
“You’ve done barely anything,’’ she said.
If our governments are too weak to take on these creeps, here’s hoping the Donald will do the job for us.
You’re fired!
