The purpose of calling reps is to air grievances, everyone involved understands this, and they almost certainly have other phone lines for more critical functions. In contrast, a university is contacted for all sorts of reasons related to research/study, and complaining en mass would be highly disruptive to this.
- threatofrain 5y agoSo the argument you lead with is about extra phone lines? Then one can expect that professors have a university office line, and universities have Way More competency and discretionary budget in hiring PR firms and in-house staff to deal with dynamic and acute events. In terms of sheer muscle power, most public officials can't compare to the behemoth that is a university. They are even outclassed on agility. It may be your local official's job to do something, but the reality of budget anemia is stiffer than their obligations to you.
