Worth repeating, and appreciating every day: "More than 100 of North America’s top universities clearly believe that an energetic, outward-facing publishing program is a tremendous asset to, indeed a responsibility of, any university."
Why institutions should continue to support their university presses (opinion)
Institutions can be unfamiliar with what their university presses do or with their own integral role in supporting scholarly publishing, argue Kathryn Conrad and Jennifer Crewe, which can lead to hasty or inaccurate judgments.

Correct. This is a President of the United States declaring himself a dictator.
And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

Tech oligarchs were a notable presence at the inauguration ceremony. Thanks to Citizens United, we have a political system dominated by ultra-wealthy individuals to a degree never before seen in American politics — a cash-for-access economy. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
Fifteen Years Later, Citizens United Defined the 2024 Election
The influence of wealthy donors and dark money was unprecedented. Much of it would have been illegal before the Supreme Court swept away long-established campaign finance rules.
