If there were a Dow Jones measuring federal public health, it would show we’re in dire straits. But since there’s not, and it doesn’t affect bank accounts in real time, it fades as new outrages take center stage. But the situation is still dire and will get worse quietly until the next crisis.

This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.
