That's nice - but platitudes... Why isn't anyone willing to stand up and say, "They are attacking higher education RIGHT NOW and we have to stop them." That doesn't have to be partisan, it's a defense of the university against it's stated enemies.

They're not willing because they don't believe they have the power is my guess, and in one respect they're right. But in the more important - and public - sense, they could have the power, if they choose to marshal it.
"Look your left and to your right. We are the real higher education community. Let us go forward as ambassadors to our fellow citizens, to bring them the good news we've learned about scholarship and service to the common good, to counter the misperceptions and misrepresentations that harm us all."
