I heard an administrator with the University of California say something like "we fully expect resolution of the current pause by Feb 1." What bullshit. Typical R1 can-do naive optimism. What we seeing right now is the just the shadow of the bigger thing coming.

At this moment university presidents and chancellors all along the East Coast are still in their bathrobes and getting their coffee, not yet realizing what has happened. Today is going to be…interesting.
