I thought higher education execs were supposed to be intelligent---and yet here they are, wimping out and thus guaranteeing nothing but further storm-trooper punishment from this corrupt, fascistic regime. It's as if nobody learned a fucking thing from trump's attempted ransacking of the big law firms---once the law firms were shamed into fighting back, trump and his enforcers relented. What I want is a complete listing of all the colleges that have gone full-scale chickenshit for trump---I'll do everything I can to make sure none of my money or family ever go to such spineless, groveling institutions. I suggest that others consider doing the same.
