2. Harvard needs somebody in authority who has the guts to order these records encrypted...

... and is willing to spend some time in jail for it.

This world needs some heroes.

The time for gutless acquiescence is past.

They're already going after foreign university students for social media critical Trump or. Israel. Looks like they're expanding that crusade to foreign faculty as well. They'll probably even demand that American faculty teaching or saying things they don't like also be fired. They probably won't be happy until all university education is just straight white males being taught Trumponomics by conservative podcasters.
