US universities are right to fight injustice

Over the past week, more than 200 universities in the United States have shown the power of swift, mass mobilization, argues a Nature editorial. Institutions large and small, private and public, mounted legal challenges to a decision by the US government that could have seen international students deported from the country if all their classes were taught online. The editorial commends US universities for standing up and challenging an injustice and says they must keep up the fight — for their students and faculty, for international cooperation, for scholarship and for research.
