The necessary antidote is this excellent op-ed by theater scholar (and dean of the arts) Harvey Young. As he points out, the humanities are imperiled — on purpose — when the most expensive part of universities loses its funding. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/03/12/o...

Harvey Young: The cards are stacked against the humanities. How should colleges respond?
President Donald Trump’s approach pushes universities to decide whether to stand up for their values or to fold to keep funding intact.
