Long-time liberal and tech billionaire Marc Benioff just declared for Trump and said troops should be sent to SF.
“At the end of the interview, he turned to a public relations executive. He could be heard why
her mouth was wide open.”

Trump sent a 'compact' to our universities. They should reject this devil's bargain.
Any institution that yields to these broad and intrusive demands would forever be subservient to the whims of the government.

The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

This is simple. Congress should not willingly pay the bills to fund the most serious assault on political freedom in our lifetime - an assault that may collapse democracy as we know it if we don't fight back.

The university needs a "broad spectrum of viewpoints"—which the DOJ will obviously enforce as HIRE MORE CONSERVATIVES—not only in the university as a whole, but "within every field,
department, school, and teaching unit."

In other words, hire right-wingers in anthropology, Af-Am Studies, art, etc.
Signatories commit to rigorous, good faith, empirical assessment of a broad spectrum of viewpoints among faculty, students, and staff at all levels and to sharing the results of such assessments with the public; and to seek such a broad spectrum of viewpoints not just in the university as a whole, but within every field, department, school, and teaching unit
