The Trump administration has launched a campaign against higher education using social media and press releases, deviating from traditional government communication approaches. Notably, in March, the Department of Health and Human Services, along with others, initiated a review of federal grants for Columbia University over alleged violations of Title VI. In May, Education Secretary Linda McMahon publicly declared the end of federal grants to Harvard, citing multiple grievances against its programs and staff. This new style indicates a broader vision for higher education, as articulated by communications expert Daniel Kreiss.
The Trump administration has waged its war on higher education through social media and press releases, moving away from traditional governmental channels for guidance and policy changes.
In March, the Department of Health and Human Services and others began reviewing federal contracts and grants for Columbia University due to alleged Title VI violations, signaling a new approach against universities.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced a halt to federal grants for Harvard, citing grievances against the institution, including its academic programs and staffing decisions.
Daniel Kreiss suggests this new communication style not only reflects bombast but embodies a coherent vision for the country that impacts higher education policies.
