I'm sure they're quaking in their boots upon reading this sternly-worded letter! To change things would take this, plus the slightest hint of conviction on the part of those currently living fat lives working in and leading those same institutions - not just academia but others that were supposed to safeguard society against such excesses, such as the press, the media, organized labor (sorry who?), and the vibrant American communist/socialist movement (LOL JK). They've all been neutralized and their brightest individuals bought off in subtle ways e.g. they just happen to make more money and get invited to more parties by agreeing with the elite party line. Or disagreeing with it in principle but crucially misattributing the blame to protect those actually at fault and/or cui bono-ing from it, that's a popular tactic. Ironically if you've got tenure (as increasingly few do) you ought to be able to speak out all the more loudly, and you can, and still make money, but you won't get invited to the parties anymore.
