The Ivy League Resistance Is Just Getting Started

“Leaders who once helmed the nation’s most prestigious universities are homing in on a message for their successors: resist, defend and litigate,” Politico reports.

“That formula, they argue, is the only way to survive an administration eager to extract fundamental concessions from schools that go far beyond addressing stated concerns about antisemitism. In the three months since returning to the White House, President Donald Trump has demanded that some of these private institutions end diversity programming, change admissions requirements, toughen student discipline policies and audit some academic programs.”

“The sustained scrutiny and public browbeating of Columbia University, Harvard University and other institutions has forced many schools to accept that academia’s relationship with Washington has fundamentally changed — and it will be costly.”
