Again, free advice university presidents are clearly going to ignore, because they appear to have neither a strategy nor an interest in actually participating in the political debate around the frontal assault on our entire profession. I don't understand what the plan is. It seems there isn't one.
I'm just a small-town professor. I'll never be a provost or chancellor. But here's some free advice: we're about to hold the most watched college sports event in 🇺🇸. Every college president should be all over TV, at every game, explaining why the March Madness of federal budget cuts is a huge crisis.
👇🎯 The public isn't going to understand this, unless the presidents of R1 universities around the country <loudly> & <collectively> get out into the public square & start explaining this & calling out the existential threat to the entire 🇺🇸 university system. The silence is deafening right now.

What can they be waiting for? Do they think they alone can be spared and function in an otherwise devastated landscape?
