Dear Editor,
As a loyal SU alum, I am distressed that Syracuse administration did not sign on as 200 college presidents defended Harvard and academic freedom to the White House. Does SU wish to be picked off like Columbia University and other schools? The letter is like NATO, a mutual defense pact. Time is short. The rolling coup is moving fast.
