This week’s Point is written by Steve Striffler, a professor in Labor Studies.

The fact that universities are under a broad attack from the Trump administration is abundantly clear.  And, although the jury is still out, it is becoming impossible to ignore that university administrations are thus far unwilling to put up much of a fight.   Most are remaining eerily quiet, no doubt fearful that speaking out will put a target on their institution’s back.
