Ok we got one (1) R1 saying something, at last!
"we will stand up for Berkeley's values and defend them to the very best of our ability."
Was that so hard??

1. Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor & Provost, UC Berkeley Like many of you, we are gravely concerned about recent Federal government actions in regard to higher education. While we recognize that the government plays an important ole in addressing discrimination and ensuring good stewardship of public resources, we see recent actions going beyond those purposes in ways that threaten core values: academic freedom, freedom of inquiry, and freedom of expression. We do not know what demands the Federal govemment may make of Berkeley, but do know that we will be steadfast and unrelenting in our efforts to defend those core values. A Berkeley without academic freedom, without freedom of inquiry, without freedom of expression is simply not Berkeley. We recognize that some of you may find our statement too timid or too bold or deficient in some other way. ... . But what we do know is that we will stand up for Berkeley's values and defend them to the very best of our ability. For 157 years through the education it provides and the research it produces, Berkeley has produced immense economic and societal benefit to its students, California, the nation. and the world: this societal jewel needs to be preserved and defended and we will toil tirelessly to see that it is.
