Update. "We Need a NATO for Universities."
https://www.insidehighered.com/news/government/politics-elections/2026/04/22/higher-ed-experts-want-create-nato-universitiesGiven its topic, this article should have covered the year-old Mutual Academic Defense Compact (#MADC). But it never mentions MADC. The author doesn't seem to know about it, and neither do the university experts and leaders in the article calling for a NATO for universities.
The only "compact" mentioned in the article is Trump's proposed compact with universities, essentially the opposite of MADC.
For more on MADC, see the present Mastodon thread and/or search for the tag #MADC.

By MadC – In Leipzig, Germany at the Alte Messe
By MadC: “In September, I painted a 550 sqm wall all by myself in only 7 days. After the 700 Wall, this was the largest mural I ever painted. However, in comparison the 640sqm of the 700 Wall took me 4 months to finish. So the 500 Wall is my very own time record. I used more than 1000 cans and painted 10-12 hours a day. I am scared of heights, so this wall was quite a challange in many ways. The mural is a massive version of one of my latest canvases which I used as a “sketch” for the wall.”https://streetartutopia.com/2013/10/28/madc-leipzig-germany-alte-messe/
