I think about it a lot. as a naive, younger early career academic, the institute was my conceptual escape hatch. their offers for studying in mainland China were incredible and I thought, like a dumbass, "well if things really go teats up here with Bernie, I can make a play."
it was insane how rapidly they were severed from every R1 campus in favor of massive DoD grants and the institutional silence in the wake continues to fill me with dread.
