Trump vs Universities

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 ā€œinnocent until proven guiltyā€?
Perhaps they needed to actively sew students lips shut and chop off some arms??

Can we defund any school teaching Bible ā€œscienceā€ over real science just because of say 2 rumors? Not saying that students (or ā€œguestsā€ 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 ā€œstrong evidence to suggest the school may no longer meetā€ 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 ā€œDEIā€.

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.

Thanks for sharing your misery with us.

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.
 
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.

ā€œHarvard has $52 Billion Dollars sitting in the Bank, and yet they are anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, and anti-America,ā€ he wrote. ā€œMuch 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.ā€

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