Trump vs Universities

[ll74]

MAGA sheep simply have no beliefs of their own.

Their networks have record viewership.

This round goes to Harvard.

The Trump administration has a new university target: the University of Virginia. They have forced out the university president.

University of Virginia president resigns under Trump administration pressure on DEI

Authoritarians have always attacked universities and intellectuals.

The departure of James Ryan, who had led the school since 2018, represents a dramatic escalation in the Trump administration’s effort to reshape higher education. Doing it at a public university marks a new frontier in a campaign that has almost exclusively targeted Ivy League schools. It also widens the rationale behind the government’s aggressive tactics, focusing on DEI rather than alleged tolerance of antisemitism.

What happened to “innocent until proven guilty”?
Perhaps they needed to actively sew students lips shut and chop off some arms??

Can we defund any school teaching Bible “science” over real science just because of say 2 rumors? Not saying that students (or “guests” on campus) didn’t cross the line!! Good Christians shouldn’t make others feel bad in any way!!

But?? Teaching HISTORY is a crime if it’s not the history that feels good to everyone?

The Trump administration steps up its retaliation against Harvard, because the university didn’t let Trump take control of its admissions, hiring and curriculum.

The Education Department and Department of Health and Human Services told Harvard University’s accreditor Wednesday there is “strong evidence to suggest the school may no longer meet” accreditation standards.

The letter to the New England Commission of Higher Education is the latest escalation in the Trump administration’s multifront effort against the nation’s oldest college. Loss of accreditation would mean Harvard could not receive federal student aid.

Trump is a petulant man-baby so he’ll never let this vendetta go.

It’s pure authoritarian shit, and that’s why MAGA sheep love it.

The Trump administration continues to attack universities. Now they’re trying to oust the president of George Mason University in Virginia.

They’re using the same playbook they’ve used against Harvard, Columbia, the University of Virginia and others: pretend there’s antisemitism and yell “DEI”.

ProPublica has an in-depth article.

It’s pure authoritarianism: Grab control of universities, hire fascists to teach, and turn the curriculum into a right wing wacko propaganda machine. Soon these universities will be scams like Hillsdale and Prager.

You’re openly an authoritarian, so it’s no surprise that you support the federal government attempting to take control of hiring, admissions and curriculum at private and public universities.

Real conservatives don’t support federal government overreach.

I know you are but what am I?

Weaksauce.

Derpy-class weaksauce.

Trump’s unprovoked attacks on Harvard are now in court.

Harvard University appeared in federal court Monday in a pivotal case in its battle with the Trump administration, as the storied institution argued the government illegally cut $2.6 billion in federal funding.

And, of course, the Petulant Man-Baby ranted on Propaganda Social.

“Harvard has $52 Billion Dollars sitting in the Bank, and yet they are anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, and anti-America,” he wrote. “Much of this money comes from the U.S.A., all to the detriment of other Schools, Colleges, and Institutions, and we are not going to allow this unfair situation to happen any longer.”

Presumably that was supposed to make sense, but Demented Donnie rarely does these days.

Trump is attempting to extort $1 billion from UCLA.

Just another day in the Banana Republic of America.

U C L A next on the block
Pay up a billion bucks to whom?

I am a proud graduate of a college that takes no government money. None.

Harvard and almost everyother college has been receiving government grants, loans, etc. Teh government gets to decide what it will and will not pay for. As we know back at my old alma mater, government money brings government control.

There is a very simple solution for schools that don't like the administration's requirements. Join us. Stop taking their money. Then you can run your college or university however the heck you want.

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

And the woke Communists would NEVER stoop to such tactics, right?

The government shouldn't be involved, but once you take their money, you live by their rules. That's why my alma mater doesn't.

If you don't want the government controlling admissions, hiring and curriculum, don't go running to tehm for funding. You can't have it both ways.

Private means private.

Trump’s $1 billion extortion attempt against UCLA has nothing to do with “living by the rules”.

It has to do with the Feds deciding what they will and will not pay for, which taking their money lets them do.

No, the demand for $1 billion has nothing to do with deciding what the federal government will pay for.

Taking money and paying money are opposites. It’s quite a simple distinction.

They settled a complaint for money, as a couple of other schools have. The complaint was about a recipient institution having policies the Feds do not want to support.

Trump may just save the Ivy League schools from their own folly.

Far too long for those with itty-bitty attention spans but it dives deep into the bowels of the corruption of our universities.
