(emphasis added):
"
In addition, this learning disruption [from COVID] has powerful meaning for our frail democracy, for which an educated populace is essential. As Benjamin Rush stated in 1786, “Freedom can exist only in the society of knowledge.

Our nation needs informed citizens, and higher education has a vital role to play."
