It appears that, with no prior consultations, the departments of Religion and Classics (two separate units), and the programs in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies, German & Scandinavian, Judaic Studies, Arabic Studies, and Holocaust Studies (the latter five all parts of a previously-consolidated mega unit called the Schnitzer* School of Global Studies and Languages) are facing imminent announcement of elimination (expected the week of Sept 7), with layoffs of pre-tenure, tenured, and career faculty in these units. The reason given is "financial exigency" -- university administrations across the country (and in blue states like Oregon also) appear to be giddy to use the Trump moment to dismantle the humanities.

This is the DiTraRe Leibniz Science Campus on "Digital Transformation of Research" tooting. Research results are increasingly being shaped by digitalization processes. At the Leibniz ScienceCampus "Digital Transformation of Research", we are investigating the effects and potential of the increasing digitalization of scientific work in four interdisciplinary research clusters. We are using an AI-generated background of interwoven networks forming a brain, using the colour purple as the key colour of the DiTraRe project.
