We hang together or we hang separately. Could not be clearer what is happening and how universities must respond.

The Big Ten are forming a mutual defense compact. So I've no idea what's stopping the Ivy League.

They should all get together -- the Big Ten, Ivies, ACC, SEC, Big 12, Mountain West, etc. United they stand.

Enos & Levitsky: “If Columbia or another university confronts the administration on its own, it will lose. If America’s nearly 6,000 universities and colleges launch a campaign in defense of higher education, odds are that Trump will lose.”

Interesting. I couldn't find more about this though. Did Rutgers Senate ratify this? Any of the other 17 schools?

We're all waiting. (Keep in mind it hasn't been long.)

Thank you.

All institutions are going to have to adapt to an environment where a week is far too slow to act. Industry too, no more waiting for the quarterly report to plan strategy.

i would actually suggest that if members of that league spent less time worrying about being prestigious, we could have a much bigger, much stronger coalition
