“Former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the two GOP presidential frontrunners, have both promised a crackdown on colleges should they occupy the White House — a stark reflection of the right’s growing skepticism of higher education,” Axios reports.

“Between the lines: Some Republican complaints about colleges are related to broader concern about ‘wokeness’ and free speech. But others hint at deeper questions about the value of college, and how to ensure a degree comes with an appropriate economic return.”
