As I read of university administration 'negotiating' with students who are persecuting their peers and illegally occupying campus spaces, and, even more horrifying, protesters storming campuses, I can't help but wonder where are the adults in the room? And how many of these University Presidents are also #Directors on public or private boards? Certainly they are not demonstrating effective #leadership, decision-making or #governance. Is now the time for me to mention I might have room to add one more board seat to my portfolio?

Dr. Michael Harris ignites a call for courageous leadership in the defense of academia. Quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, he questions the absence of university presidents boldly standing up for higher education amidst political challenges.
