The desire for people to be in a space to answer the big questions and, yet, we as a society are threatening/eliminating the very institutions that make this type of engagement possible….🤔

Universities and the Coming Storm It’s difficult for colleges to defend democracy if they aren’t run democratically.

"I used to joke with colleagues that higher education is besieged on two fronts: by fascists on one side and neoliberals on the other. As we look ahead to a second Trump administration, these two threads appear ready to converge."
