>> Dear ACAS Members and Friends,
>> We continue to follow issues of attacks on academic freedom featured 
>> in the
>> most
>> recent ACAS Bulletin. Here is an update.
>> Merle Bowen and Bill Martin have alerted us to the formation of a new 
>> homeland
>> security center at the University of Illinois that funds undergraduate
>> fellowships. A quick google check shows that several campuses have 
>> these new
>> centers and others have Homeland Security programs in older security 
>> centers.
>> The Department of Homeland Security has a national consortium, 
>> centered at
>> Ohio, to funds such programs on many campuses, with fellowships for 
>> graduates
>> and undergraduates, with a long list of member institutions (see 
>> their website
>> http://homelandsecurity.osu.edu/NACHS/index.html). We believe this 
>> represents a
>> wholesale new effort.
>> Attached is the list of members from the webste. If your campus is a 
>> member of
>> the consortium, could you please get as much information as possible,
>> especially as related to Africa, and send it back to us?
>> We are also attaching an article by Alexander Cockburn that appeared 
>> in
>> COUNTERPUNCH, 1-26-05.
