Last Friday, in an op-ed piece on the Trump administration’s war on American universities, we called for academia to 1) band together and 2) resist coercive control over hiring and teaching, though we noted that the 3) “temperamental caution of university administrators” means that they might “have trouble finding a clear voice to speak with when they come under thundering public attacks from a government they are more used to thinking of as a funding source.”
It only took billions of dollars in vindictive cuts to make it happen, but higher education has finally 1) banded together to 2) resist coercive control over its core functions.

Clearly, 3) temperamental caution remains the watchword. Still, progress! (Even Columbia University, which has already capitulated to Trump administration pressure, signed on.)
