    We need more companies and colleges to defy orders. I doubt any other schools can afford to. I think there are plenty of companies that “could” until an impossible tariff is put on them.

      Of course plenty of other universities can afford to do it. It’s the research heavy universities that can’t afford it right now, but that might mean that they should cut a bunch of their research divisions. Tuition dollars are not affected by these types of legal shenanigans.
