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.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

An excellent question. Where are the Fortune 500 & Wall Street CEOs? Where are the university presidents? Where are the civil society leaders? Not just speaking out specifically in defense of their institutions & democracy, but also about 🇺🇸's global interests? The silence is deafening & shameful.
we are gutting out competitive advantages and the stakeholders of our democracy don't care? what the fuck is wrong with america's elites?

It’s hard to overstate the contribution of IES to improving education research - and through it, education - in the United States. Its destruction for purely partisan ends is a national catastrophe, and Schneider of all people should know that.

Like any researcher who understands how invaluable #USAID data—such as the Demographic Health Surveys—are for advancing knowledge in social and medical sciences, I feel nauseated and outraged by Musk and his associates' disgraceful statements and unlawful attempts to dismantle the agency. #EconSky
