Among those supporting the compact was Silke-Maria Weineck, a professor of German studies and comparative literature. She decided to vote yes after seeing Michigan on the government’s “target list.” Already this semester, she said, more than a dozen staff have been fired as Michigan administrators ended campus DEI initiatives. “Either they wanted to do this and used the Trump policy as cover, or they’re cowards,” Weineck said Tuesday. She faulted Michigan’s president, Santa Ono, for failing to support the compact effort. “We need a wartime president. He’s completely not up to the moment,” she said. Ono did not respond to a request for comment.

“The subjugation of universities to state power is a hallmark of autocracy. Columbia University’s immediate submission and betrayal of the core mission of higher education reflects cowardice and capitulation to a government that seems intent on destroying US higher education.”

Excellent editorial by Silke-Maria Weineck: "[Institutional] neutrality is a policy designed to shield the right-wing from the critique of one of the most powerful institutions in American life — the home of expert researchers and rigorous thinkers."
