“When we undermine our colleges, we are not “owning” some distant ivory tower; we are weakening our talent pipeline, our innovation capacity and our civic fabric. The task now is not simply to defend these institutions, but to double down on partnership.” Amen!

Everyone in academia knows👇. By the time everyone starts speaking out loud, it will be too late. Programs will close. Tens of thousands of staff will be laid off. Entire fields of study at major universities will simply disappear. And “just do lawsuits” will look shamefully pathetic as a response.
The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.

Anti-imm right will share the Guardian article and decide Labour have a woke open borders policy; progressive left will share the Sun article and conclude Labour are thugs snatching jewelry from the desperate. Instead of persuading both sides the risk is you anger both and persuade no one.
