The situation is fueled by the Trump administration's demands on universities, particularly Harvard, to alter hiring, admissions, and teaching practices. These demands are seen as an overreach into academic freedom and an attempt to control academic institutions.
The Trump administration is targeting Ivy League schools, which are seen as elite and somewhat resistant to the administration's agenda, says The Quad-City Times. This is perceived as a broader "war on academia" targeting multiple institutions.
Universities are resisting these demands, with some, like Harvard, publicly stating they will not comply. The universities are also considering collective action and legal challenges to defend their autonomy.
YUP. used to work at Penn. it is a very cult like workplace to say the least. seem like they all thought the same way, watch the same shows and talked about the same thing. really weird.
ReplyDeleteUniversity professors shouldn't be encouraging anti-semetic violence, or anti-anything violence, on a campus that receives taxpayer money.
ReplyDeleteAnd it wouldn't be a "Zombified Corpse" of a Federal Government if a number of previous administrations hadn't made it so.
WTH is wrong with you?
What a load of crap. Academic freedom does not mean foreigners can come here and set policy and if they don't get their way they can riot, burn, loot and murder. These schools are too big, too rich and too unregulated. How about regulating them like the average citizen in this country?
ReplyDeleteSeems like kind of biased report. As I understand it, the Trump Administration is simply telling the universities to quit the DEI bullshit, which is extraordinarily discriminatory, and to put a stop to the anti-Semitism on their campuses. Otherwise, they stop getting the tax dollars that they don't need in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI'm at a loss as to why my hard earned money should be sent to any college or university with multi billion dollar endowments and with all the leftist garbage going on at the universities they should receive no taxpayer monies.
ReplyDeleteSounds like they are not happy having to live with the laws like everyone else now.
ReplyDeleteJust pull ALL their federal funding and they can do whatever TF they want. Just don't do it on the taxpayers' dime. If they still wnat the money, then shut up and step in line. Simple.

This has been coming for a long time. Poison Ivy league schools are just an easy target. And with the radical Muslims along with Antifa, BLM, not mention marxist fucks they are only fit for swine.

So fyi for the learned at elite education centers. You can claim autonomy or sue for grants. Not both.
