"If this becomes a pattern — the Trump administration threatens to withhold funding to institutions that don’t match its position on culture war issues — this would speak volumes about the state of America’s colleges and universities. They say they’re graduating irreverent rebels who are ready to change society. Yet they’re willing to bend to the will of the president?

One way for universities to stand on principle would be to tap into their endowments. Elite colleges are sitting on massive pots of money.

In Penn’s case, that endowment is about $22 billion.

In Columbia’s case, that endowment is nearly $15 billion.

These funds could easily be used to buttress any federal funding that the administration is using as leverage over these schools. They don’t have to simply comply. They have more than enough money to weather the storm for four years.

Does that mean that there are no legitimate debates about transgender athletes or protests over the Middle East conflict? Absolutely not. I think both of these highly contentious issues have plenty of nuance to them.

But if these colleges and universities decide to let the threat of federal funding decide these debates for them, it would prove that they’re far from the bold, reformist institutions they portray themselves as. They’re just a bunch of conformists, worried about their prestige and paychecks, after all."

wes.copernicus.orgGlauert's optimum rotor disk revisited – a calculus of variations solution and exact integrals for thrust and bending moment coefficientsAbstract. The present work is an amendment to Glauert's optimum rotor disk solution for the maximum power coefficient, CPmax, as a function of tip speed ratio, λ. First, an alternate mathematical approach is pursued towards the optimization problem by means of calculus of variations. Secondly, analytical solutions for thrust and bending moment coefficients, CT and CBe, are derived, where an interesting characteristic is revealed pertaining to their asymptotic behavior for λ→∞. In addition, the limit case of the non-rotating actuator disk for λ→0 is shown for all three performance coefficients by repeated use of L'Hôpital's theorem, and its validity is discussed in the context of other works since Glauert.

[A #Trump admin ofcl said]…cuts would be made to federal funding that #Penn receives from #DOD & #HHS.

…On Feb 6, the #UnitedStates Dept of #Education launched an investigation into Penn for Title IX violations for allowing 2022 College graduate & #transgender woman Lia Thomas to represent Penn women’s swimming & diving during the 2021-22 NCAA swimming season. Shortly after, the NCAA changed its policy to align w/the order.

#Trump admin freezes $175 million in federal funding to #Penn

"This is just a taste of what could be coming down the pipe for Penn, one snr Trump admin ofcl told FauxNews.

“The official said that the decision to cut funding was made because Penn ‘infamously permitted a male to compete on its women’s swimming team.’”

This is straight up illegal — a violation of Title VI of the #CivilRights Act & the Administrative Procedure Act.

It’s not the same without my friend Reed Gustow, who passed at the end of August. But BarCamp Philly has been going strong for 15 years.

I love this unconference, because where else can you learn about knitting and AI at the same event. LOL

I’ve only missed three. Two from before I knew about it and one when my, now 11 year old son, was born.

I love how many new people are experiencing BarCamp Philly for the first time this year and how inclusive the whole community is.

Here’s to many more!

This is what happens when you ignore #Arizona the way #Harris has done. She’s been spending a lot of time in #Pennsylvania because of their 19 electoral votes while #AZ has 11. However, #Trump has been here 3 times since became the #Democratic nominee
While Harris has been here once. True AZ and NV may not have as many votes as PA, but between AZ and NV that’s 16. So what if you win #Penn but lose both AZ and NV? That’s why she’s now down 5 points in AZ.
