Dear Professor @tao,

There are protests happening in California too. Please put some words of support for my fellow academics. Many of them are Chinese and look up to you.

@Breakfastisready In the last few years, my department has made increasing the financial support to graduate students one of our top priorities (a position that was endorsed by the academic senate in their most recent review). However, in order not to jeapordize ongoing discussions with the administration on this topic, I will not be making any public comments on the current strike.

Dear Professor,

Thank you for clarifying your stand. Hopefully the situation will be under control soon and be resolved in the best interests of everyone if people like you worked to uphold the moral integrity of the universities.
