On the recordMarch 31, 2025
Let me ask the question this way. I was in the airport yesterday when someone handed me a note that said: ``Please save our country.'' ``Please save our country.'' And I think the genesis of the note was her profound concern over the direction of this country, over the increasingly authoritarian direction of this country and what is happening to the rule of law in America. We look at institution after institution, and we see the guardrails of our democracy coming down. We see an assault on the rule of law unlike anything we have seen in modern history, maybe in the entire history of the United States of America--each and every institution, and why? Because they can, because they feel they can. So they are going after the colleges and universities.
