This College President Isn’t Afraid of Donald Trump - Opinion

Columnist Perry Bacon Jr. writes:  

Many college presidents and deans are issuing mealymouthed statements, ending long-standing programs, removing content from websites and otherwise cowering in the face of the Trump administration’s attacks on higher education. Then there’s Michael S. Roth. The president of Connecticut’s Wesleyan University wrote a piece in Slate that described some of the Trump’s administration rhetoric as authoritarian. He consistently reposts articles criticizing Trump’s decisions. He speaks and blogs firmly in defense of diversity, equity and inclusion, transgender rights and immigration.
