I was glad to see Harvard take a stand against the Trump administration, and am now very happy to see so many colleges and universities sign on to this statement about academic freedom:

In particular, I'm happy to see several institutions I've worked for or attended there: the University of Wisconsin -- Madison; the University of Puget Sound, and my upcoming Macalester College.

(Hey, University of Minnesota, my PhD institution: you should sign too!)
