I used to try and extend a hefty dose of charitably to Kotlikoff. Unfortunately his actions and communications have continually spit in our faces.
I have no faith or trust that he means any of what he says and ultimately I feel this is performative.

“Cornell is not a business. We are a university,” writes its president, Michael Kotlikoff. “Universities, despite rapidly escalating political, legal and financial risks, cannot afford to cede the space of public discourse and the free exchange of ideas.”

It’s clear to me that there is no degree of capitulation will protect our universities from these attacks. This administration has made it clear for almost a decade now that they intend to kneecap the US education system by any means necessary.
Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.
Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

A general strike may be the only way to course correct our government and have the interests of the people truly become a priority. We aught to not forget it is an option.
