for those unaware today india experienced one of its biggest protests in half a decade. there were protests all over the nation for various causes but the major one was in delhi. all we asked for was the resignation of the education minister because he's failed the students of this nation time & time again. but we were met with brutality, the police had barricaded the main site of protest (jantar mantar). metro stations were shutdown, the public was restrained from reaching the protest site and all the adjoining areas had signal jammers to make sure the crowd had no access to constant updates. they had us blocked from all the sides. they were lathi (baton) charging students from one side & releasing tear gas from the other. you couldn't walk 100 m on streets without having a tear gas shell thrown at you. there were many students, women & kids bleeding — some from their head. some couldn't walk anymore. the police had removed their nameplates & acted with full impunity to resort to unprecedented levels of violence. they were pelting stones at us, beating up people for no reason, forcefully detaining them and attacking us constantly with tear gas & rubber bullets. they wouldn't let you exit either. the crowd was peaceful & looking out for each other yet they were met with violence. i made a friend who was all alone & she asked to join me & my friend because a policeman wouldn't leave her alone. he constantly prodded her for personal info, invited her back to the jeep saying they have food there, wouldn't stop following her around. you couldn't call or ask anyone for help, we were left to fend for ourselves & be on a constant lookout if you did not want to be beaten up to death by police. all for what? asking a resignation? shame on this country.
Youth-led movement calls on education minister to quit in one of India’s largest anti-government rallies in years
More than 10,000 protesters braved tear gas and baton charges in their largest challenge yet to PM Modi's government.

Mu Asapio, the Door Submission by Weaselhouse
Oh my God... that moment still haunts me to this day. I was sitting beside my husband Ahmed in the hospital bed, holding his hand and praying to God to ease his pain, when suddenly he lost consciousness right before my eyes. I completely broke down, crying and begging God to save him.
I cry every day from the weight of this heartbreak. I stand beside my husband with nothing but prayer, watching his pain and feeling my heart shatter because I cannot do more to save him. I try to stay strong for my little girl, but there are moments when I weaken as I imagine her life without her father. All I want is a chance to save Ahmed, a chance for him to remain a father to our daughter and a husband to me, and for us to see a better day after all this pain.
The doctor told me that Ahmed’s condition is critical, that the cancer is spreading rapidly through his body, and that his only hope for treatment is to get him out of Gaza as soon as possible to receive urgent medical care. Since that moment, I have been living in constant fear, terrified that I may lose my husband at any moment.
Getting Ahmed out of Gaza for treatment is extremely costly, and we need to raise more than $25,000 to cover the urgent medical expenses and give him the chance he desperately needs. Every moment matters, and we are racing against time to save his life.
Our little daughter cries every day, calling for her father. She does not understand what cancer means, but she feels his pain and clings to him with all her strength. All she wants is for her father to stay by her side, and for this war and this illness not to take him away from her.
As for me, I am suffering from severe malnutrition because of the famine and the war. My body has become weak, but I keep holding myself together in front of my daughter so she does not feel the full extent of the pain we carry inside.
I say this from the depths of my heart: I will never forget everyone who read my words, saw my family’s suffering, and chose to turn away without even sharing our story. A simple share may help our voice reach someone who can save Ahmed’s life.
You are our only hope. Every donation, no matter how small, and every share could be the reason our story reaches someone able to help us.
Please, do not leave us alone. Ahmed’s life is in your hands. Help us reach our goal as quickly as possible and save Ahmed before it is too late. Give our little daughter the chance to keep her father by her side.

Think back to the fully automated college course I described at the very beginning of this essay. Would such a course be worth taking? Tatum, for one, seems excited about the possibility, repeating claims that educational chatbots will improve student learning outcomes by offering constant, personalized pedagogical support. The college leaders who spoke at Stanford in March seem less convinced that such a process can teach students at all, let alone do it better than traditional teaching. But it’s best to understand these automated tools as part of a continuum of technologies designed to reduce labor autonomy, increase labor discipline, drive down labor costs, and deskill the academic workforce.33 Technologies like online platforms and learning management systems, even when they involve no AI automation, function in exactly this way, as Annie McClanahan and Louise McCune note in their work on “Ed Tech.”34 Moreover, as McClanahan explained in a recent interview with me, even though ed-tech contracts represent significant expenditures—generally decided on exclusively by administrators, without faculty oversight—the cost savings still outweigh the expenses, especially when combined with employment practices that maintain most instructional workers in low-paid precarity. Baumol effects might be exaggerated, but they are still real, and even if instructional labor is not the main driver of college costs, reducing its price will still help to control them. And, crucially, as McClanahan remarked, all these changes are made possible by the fact that many of the people associated with higher education, from students who view their role as purchasing credentials to administrators who see their job as selling them, have given up on educational quality, especially at the largest institutions that serve the great majority of students.
Here’s the reality: If you, as an administrator or professor, care little about whether the education you offer is a quality product, and if you have little faith in the transformative power of that education, then these kinds of changes are going to be acceptable to you. (And those professors who view their primary role, rightly or wrongly, as being high-level researchers are more than happy to see teaching become easier and cheaper, if worse.) Similarly, if you, as a student, view the good you are purchasing as a credential that allows you to enter the job market at a higher level and nothing more, then getting a pro forma education might be boring or annoying, but it won’t bother you much. And given the continuities between technologized primary and secondary education and the technologized college classroom, it may not even seem all that different. For too many students, that’s just what education is now: a disembodied teacher on a screen, a course website with endless little busywork assignments, boxes to check, grading that doesn’t offer students much beyond a sense of how many points they earned on the assignment. You can sell that to people (especially when you convince them they need it if they ever want to get a job), but you can’t sell it to them for $50,000 or more a year.

When there are three tenured faculty members to every administrator, costs rise at the slowest rate. As the proportion changes in favor of administration, costs go up dramatically.38 You may not be surprised to learn that most institutions of higher education are quite far from that ratio now, with administrators even outnumbering tenured faculty. Other kinds of instructional jobs have proliferated, but because such workers typically lack a role in shared governance, they have no opportunity to veto or even exercise oversight over administrative spending decisions. They are proletarianized academics who carry out orders based on directives from above. A crucial part of deskilling (the replacement of workers with broad skillsets and autonomy with those with narrow ones) isn’t just creating workers with fewer skills but eviscerating worker control over the work process, reducing the worker to a cog in the machine designed by a company brain located far from the shop floor. That’s clearly what’s happened in academia, and, surprisingly, while it has controlled some labor costs, it has led to an increase in every other kind of spending.
