Yale professors Snyder, Shore, and Stanley resign over Trump policies

Three prominent critics of US President Donald Trump are leaving Yale University: history professors Timothy Snyder and Marcy Shore, and philosophy professor Jason Stanley. The decisions come amid the new administration's attacks on higher education in the United States.

Points of attention

  • Jason Stanley's forced resignation sheds light on the challenges faced by academics in an environment of political hostility, exemplified by attacks on institutions like Columbia University.
  • The move of Snyder, Stanley, and Shore to the University of Toronto and Munk School reflects the changing landscape for academics seeking a more conducive environment for their work and values.

Snyder, Stanley, and Shore leave Yale

As the Yale Daily News notes, the professors are not only leaving the university — they have decided to leave the States altogether while Donald Trump and his team remain in power here.

According to the latest reports, Snyder, Stanley and Shore will move to positions at the University of Toronto and will teach at the Munk School.

Jason Stanley said he was forced to resign because of the political climate in the United States. He was also struck by how Columbia University was suffering from attacks from the White House.

What is important to understand is that Donald Trump's team threatened to deport two students who participated in protests at Columbia University and withdrew $400 million allocated to fund research at the university.

Against the backdrop of such powerful pressure, the university was forced to agree to a number of demands from the Trump administration, including a review of its policy.

Marcy Shore officially confirmed that Munk's school had long been trying to recruit her and Snyder and that the couple had been seriously considering offers "for the past two years."

Recall that Timothy Snyder is a UNITED24 ambassador — he has publicly supported the Ukrainian people many times against the backdrop of the war waged by Russia.

The introduction of peacekeepers into Ukraine. What is the main problem?

Only two allies are ready to fully support Ukraine
Source:  The New York Times

On March 27, a meeting of the "coalition of the willing" was held in Paris, during which the introduction of foreign troops into Ukraine to deter Russian aggression was actively discussed. As of today, only France and Britain support the idea of deploying "pacification forces" in Ukraine.

Points of attention

  • Italy supports sending troops as part of a UN mission, while Poland has rejected this possibility altogether, adding to the lack of unity.
  • Accelerating negotiations for a ceasefire and ensuring financing and supply of weapons are crucial steps towards resolving the conflict in Ukraine.

Only two allies are ready to fully support Ukraine

French and British leaders Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer have said they are ready to deploy "peacekeeping forces" to Ukrainian soil after the war ends.

According to Macron himself, the contours of these forces are still being refined, and details about who is prepared to do what are still scarce.

As journalists managed to learn, "this has increased the sense of ambiguity surrounding diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the fighting."

We must accelerate negotiations to achieve a ceasefire, we must accelerate our ability to finance and supply weapons, and prepare plans for the Ukrainian army and peacekeeping forces.

What is important to understand is that Italy wants to send troops if they are part of a UN mission, while Poland has rejected this possibility altogether.

The main problem is that there is no "unanimity" among European leaders regarding the introduction of forces into Ukraine.
