Hi Michael,
I wonder, what is the
disposition of Conservatives and Liberals toward professions? Equally inimical,
I suppose? Trump can treat HE the way he does – as can any government – because
the current HE model substantially depends on public money. I gather you would
like to increase this dependence, since you would like to see increased public
funding for this model.
You say, “A new social contract
that preserves access, funds quality, and ensures academic and intellectual
autonomy must be developed and fought for.” I have developed such a social contract. And as I can, I have fought for it.
