@raymondpert One might also call it "climate of complicity” universities chose over "living up to your values".
Let's face it: They need to stick together and remain true to their mission and publicly show their defiance to nonsense Executive Orders like DEI directives. If these large universities with their billion dollar endowments cannot afford to stand up for free speech, their students and staff, science, and independent governance, they don't deserve surviving.
Have they not learned from history that appeasing a fascist regime is not going to work? But maybe they're just another business trying to keep the money flowing for as long as they can regardless of the consequences ... #StrongerTogether #FightTheRight #StayTrue #MomentOfTruth
