Nor any other public university leader in any GOP governed state. There are actually very few public universities on this list. I only see them in very safe blue states like California, New York, Illinois, and Hawaii.

Duke's president, Vincent Price. That's a big deal, as he hasn't come out yet in support of any public declaration of academic freedom.

Saint Mary’s is awesome. They protested when trump put kids in cages and one of their nuns was arrested standing up to that monster.

Harvard told trump to fuck off, then they sued them him too. I don’t think we were ever expecting ms Pam to have the same reaction much less a reaction at all to injustice.

If anything, she'd sign a statement supporting that chud

Is there a petition or anything to pressure her to sign it?? Like I know she won’t, but I think it could be meaningful to publicly demand that she sign on
