Today, two representatives (I almost wrote "shills" but that would be editorializing) have a piece in Inside Higher Ed. Here's the opening paragraph:

In the new round of lawsuits, 400 of these legal actions were directed at college and university students around the country. The inclusion of so many students was unprecedented. Unfortunately, it was also necessary.
