2 things my university did that I admired
When Trump fired Kennedy Center President Deborah Rutter, we hired her as Vice Provost for the Arts
When he fired Gen Charles Q Brown Jr, the nation’s highest-ranking military officer, in MAGA’s vile “anti-woke” crusade (CQ Brown Jr is Black), we hired him
Prof Gavin Yamey
Taking Trump's name off the Kennedy Center was a mortal wound to the world's largest and most fragile ego. The legal battle to keep up and then the effort to conceal the final de-Trumpification of the Kennedy Center felt like the old guy bargaining with the grim reaper for a few more hours of life.
David Rothkopf
"The 10 hours of erecting scaffolding wasn’t to strip the letters (something that 30 minutes in a boom lift could accomplish), it was to conceal the view with a curtain because Trump couldn’t handle the optics of the letters of his name being plucked off the building" bluevirginia.us/2026/06/satu...
