Seems a good idea to press it. The university’s obeisance first to political pressure and then to countervailing media pressure looks like feckless brand management and can’t be trusted not to change again with another Friday-evening press release. Anything that draws attention to problems caused by the university’s lack of genuine political independence (and the degree of commercial activity it is involved in) is worth doing.
I am a UF alumnus, and this has been going on since the days I was a student. UF only cares about who’s making the biggest donations. If they’re right-wing, then so be it.
