Trump’s DOJ Pressured Lawyers to “Find” Evidence That UCLA Had Illegally Tolerated Antisemitism
---

“The end goal was never to conduct a thorough, unbiased investigation,” said one DOJ lawyer. “The end goal was to file a damn complaint — or have something to threaten the university.”

Severe depression among college students has fallen from 23% to 18%, according to recent data, but the mental health crisis on campus persists.

Stress, financial pressure and rising mental health leave still define the student experience.

"A strong majority of #Jewish #Americans said they are concerned about #antisemitism on #college campuses but disagree with President #Trump’s approach to combating it, a national #poll showed.

By nearly 3 to 1, #American #Jews believe that Trump is using antisemitism as an “excuse” to “penalize and tax college campuses,” according to the poll released Tuesday by Ipsos in collaboration with social and political scientists at UC Berkeley and the #University of Rochester."

Rentrée chaotique dans un collège de l’Hérault: parents et personnels dénoncent une principale au lourd passif

Objet de multiples signalements dans ses précédentes affectations, la principale d’un #collège de l’#Hérault est une nouvelle fois sous le feu des critiques pour un #management jugé «toxique». Plaintes, absence d’emploi du temps, projets empêchés… La reprise des cours est totalement désorganisée.

Ce bilan était annoncé. Les chercheurs ont établi que regrouper les élèves en fonction de leur niveau conduit à un décrochage des + fragiles sans effets spectaculaires sur les autres, creusant ainsi les #inégalités.

L’échec des groupes au #collège est d’abord celui d'1 mesure conçue en faisant primer des intérêts politiques sur ceux du système éducatif. #Attal n’ignorait pas les résultats de la recherche & l’opposition des professionnels en annonçant la création de ces groupes. Mais il connaissait aussi la popularité de cette mesure dans les sondages, et ne cachait pas sa volonté de cibler l’opinion avant les professionnels de l’école.

Plusieurs syndicats ainsi que l’opposition municipale de Fontenay-aux-Roses dénoncent l’intrusion de l’extrême droite dans l’enseignement public. En cause: un événement organisé dans un #collège par une association financée par le fonds du milliardaire ultraconservateur Pierre-Édouard #Stérin.
