"At Seventeen" is a song by American singer-songwriter #JanisIan from her seventh studio album #BetweenTheLines. #Columbia released it in July 1975 as the album's second single. Ian wrote the lyrics on the basis of a #NewYorkTimes article and used a #samba instrumental, and Brooks Arthur produced the final version. A #pop and #softRock ballad, the song is about a social outcast in #highSchool. Critics have regarded "At Seventeen" as a type of #anthem.

“…the Trump administration is not acting in good faith in its purported antisemitism concerns, nor is it following the law in its approach to universities. President Trump offered praise to a white-supremacist rally that included chants of ‘Jews will not replace us,’ publicly dined with Holocaust deniers, made common cause with Germany’s Nazi-descendant AfD party and invoked tropes about wealthy Jews. The true motivation behind his attack on universities is suggested by Vice President JD Vance’s declaration that the ‘universities are the enemy.’” —Larry Summers, economist, professor at Harvard University #HigherEd #academia #universities #education #AntiEducationRepublicans #AntiSemitism #Trump #TrumpAdministration #Columbia

"It feels like a kind of racial and ethnic cleansing that is happening on our campuses.”
