In a letter to Robinson, Butler said that forwarding community members' names to the government was a "well-known practice from the McCarthy Era":
"We should not be naive. Will those of us named now be branded on a government list? Will our travel be restricted? Will our email communications be surveilled?
"It is a time to resist injustice that now threatens to be normalized by those who capitulate, sometimes in advance, to bullying tactics of extortion at the expense of basic standards that govern shared governance, institutional autonomy, due process, and fair review," they continued. "To allow universities to be bossed by political operatives in this way undermines the basic ideals of the university as well as [its] important links to the future of critical thought, dissent, and democracy."
