Why are academics too timid to raise our voices?

We have the platforms.
We are trained to speak.
We have extraordinary privilege.
We even have flexible schedules.

We teach about rights and equality.
Why aren’t we defending them?

We have to speak up now.

Professors at universities across the United States should be defending their students and themselves. Defending intellectual inquiry. Medical research. Human rights. The future we all worked so hard to build.
