Academic institutions in the US need to seriously consider how they will support and protect their minority faculty during this time. The conditions we face are already hostile for most - targeted attacks and added barriers to advancement will push many to simply walk away.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are basic building blocks of a better society. The bare minimum. Rejecting these values shows we’re heading in the wrong direction.
