I deeply respect the Presidents who chose to sign AACU’s letter and those who did not. We are all committed to the mission and values of our universities and grateful for the American public’s support. We also have a range of opinions about signing open letters, which I rarely do. My approach is to continue working with state and federal legislators and collaborating with institutions nationwide on a number of fronts, to ensure the continuation of vital research, healthcare, and educational programs that enrich our world. Our commitment remains unwavering.
