NYT account of how the Congressional assault on Universities last Spring...

...led the schools to crack down on lawful political expression that House Republicans did not like.  Universities were running scared before Trump's election; imagine what next year will bring.

UPDATE:  Dr. Roger Albin at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor writes:

Thanks for posting the NYT piece on the crackdown on protests at universities. While I agree with much of what was written, I think this piece neglects an important component. The pro-Palestinian protest movement had many of the features of a typical undergraduate fad.  Participants graduate, fervor diminishes once away from campus, and much of the impetus dissapates.  In addition, what I observed here was a good deal of immature conduct. This was not the disciplined Civil Rights movement. To a considerable extent, our University administrators gave the protestors enough rope to hang themselves and the protesters did enough stupid stuff to make shutting them down fairly easy.
