When Aspiring Authoritarians Seize Faculty Power

That is no excuse, however, for what the historian Timothy D. Snyder, in On Tyranny, calls anticipatory obedience. Snyder argues that a key lesson from 20th-century authoritarianism is “don’t hand over the power you have before you have to.” UNT’s overcompliance feels precisely like we are conceding our power — our academic authority over teaching and research — in advance to aspiring authoritarians in Austin, Tex. Our administration cheerfully assures us that we are not abandoning our values as an institution of higher education. The necessity of such assurances, though, should alarm any faculty who hear them. As we creep into self-censorship, that is precisely what we are doing: not speaking truth to power, but letting power tell us what truths we can pursue.

Dr. Ken Barter — one of Newfoundland and Labrador’s leading experts on child protection for decades — says the child and youth advocate should have rejected the premier’s request for a review related to a high-profile sexual exploitation case. The retired Memorial University social work professor said the advocate’s review won’t turn up anything that hasn’t already been flagged by numerous reports in the past.

‘I couldn’t care less if I saw another sunrise’ – what older people who are ‘tired of life’ can tell us about the assisted dying debate
The debate around assisted dying in the UK has intensified because of the terminally ill adults (end of life) bill, which will be debated again in the House of Commons on November 29. (This bill applies to England and Wales. A separate bill is due before the Scottish parliament, but the Scottish government has indicated the bill could not be brought into force without the co-operation of the UK government.) A concern expressed by many opponents of the bill is that it could encourage the idea that people who feel as though they are a burden – or simply that life itself is a burden – should consider ending their life, putting particular pressure on the more vulnerable in society, including disabled people.
