UC Berkeley used to have such fight in it.
However; it seems to me some of these institutions could band together and pool resources both legal, financial, and otherwise to give something of a stronger defense than one alone.
Rock and a hard place certainly.
But there has to be something that can be done, albeit even in the United States broken systems of law, both constitutional and otherwise, to fight off this assault. Anything other than bending the knee and enabling further assaults on higher-education and/or the US democracy.
I stopped believing in constitution for a while now. If the interpretation of it depends on who sits on the bench, it means it's nothing more than a piece of paper with some words on it.
At some point, they will fall.
Don’t give an inch and litigate. That is the only path forward.
The Fed has tremendous financial and regulatory power over any institution of any size.
Large corporations have been bending the knee for the same reasons. I highly doubt Tim Cook is a huge Trump fan but he was right there to kiss ass on day one. That’s because Trump could, with the stroke of a pen, decimate Apple’s business by destroying its global supply chain.
Actual conservatives and actual libertarians were warning about growing Federal power for decades and decades and they had a point. Nobody listened of course.
The suppression of free speech is quite funny to see, from those who claim to be such proponents of it. Of course, it's not free speech when it bothers my political sensibilities, it's only free speech when I'm the one being censored, not when I do the censoring.
