Seems increasingly clear that when dust clears universities may need to separate out the federally funded parts from the rest to limit the reach of political meddling

When I was in gov we'd sometimes say, "we've talked a good game -- but we need to win some big cases." Credit to Jonathan Kanter for two massive Section 2 wins
