How the hell do you go along with nothing in exchange and then fucking wring your hands about it? Make the Administration and "Leadership" come up with some sound answers at minimum.

Being unwilling to say "no" in the final analysis means you don't even have to be considered, much less bargained with because in the end you will be an "aye" no matter what goes down.
