The article argues that President Trump is intent on destroying higher education in the U.S. by implementing detrimental policies. It refers to JD Vance's calls for aggressive attacks on universities and compares their approach to that of authoritarian regimes, citing the situation in Hungary. The piece highlights Trump's unilateral cuts to important grants and illegal threats to institutions, emphasizing that compliance with these demands may not prevent further attacks. The author stresses the need for an urgent and clear understanding of these threats to preserve the integrity of higher education.
Together, we should be clear on what President Donald Trump is trying to do to higher education. Destroy it.
If any institutional leaders are thinking that if they do just enough compliance with Trump's demands, he will stop the war, they are misguided.
