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?

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.

I would call on the APSA, AALS & the ABA to help educate the Univ leaders
My general takeaway was, "They hate us because they can't be like us." ...whoops 😔 🤣
I've often said the best way to cure ballot access inequality in Alabama would be for players to threaten to sit out the Iron Bowl.
that would be powerful
Why would these university presidents act differently?
They’re all either afraid, or secretly support him and what he’s doing
there will be no mass outrage from them. only cautious accommodation.
No one pays attention to us!
We’ll be fine if we just bury our heads in this sand we piled up using the ashes of the tenure track lines we’ve routinely slashed over the years!
It's bad and cowardly but also understandable from a survival point of view.
Prisoner's dilemma.
