Someone asked me what to do if you see someone being snatched off the street like those students detained by ICE, and whether you should ask them to tell you their family members’ numbers or their lawyer to notify them, to try to help. It’s a noble sentiment. But… /1

Today would be yet another good day for university presidents to loudly, collectively, & publicly start defending our institutions & industry. The silence is deafening & frankly, incomprehensible. What exactly are you waiting for? How many Columbias, Maines, & Johns Hopkins will it take?

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire
