Why do university powers that be send continual positive messaging not founded in reality? Why did state media send soviet citizens messaging to paint a picture of normality, ‘all is fine, carry on’, when it was clear that all was not normal? Propaganda comes to mind. A rosier answer for universities is public relations, marketing and advertising.
