"She told the conservative outlet that the administration is "working on developing the right kind of compact with some input that we're already getting." "So I expect that once that's done, we'll see a lot more people signing up, a lot more universities signing up for that," said McMahon, adding that she expected the universities that gave input will be "even more pleased with" the final version."
"The administration sent a draft of the compact to nine universities- Brown University; Dartmouth College; the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; the Universities of Arizona, Pennsylvania, Southern California and Virginia; Vanderbilt University; and Washington University in St. Louis -on Oct. 1 and asked them for feedback, though McMahon and other officials said the document was "largely in its final form." Of the initial nine, most declined to sign the compact,"
The administration is reworking a controversial higher-education compact after several universities rejected the initial proposal. Education Secretary Linda McMahon said the administration is developing a revised compact with institutional input and expects more universities to sign, without offering a timeline. A draft sent on Oct. 1 to nine universities — Brown, Dartmouth, MIT, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Southern California, Virginia, Vanderbilt and Washington University in St. Louis — was described by officials as largely in its final form. Most of those institutions declined to sign. The compact would have required policy changes in admissions, hiring and other areas to obtain preferential grant funding. MIT's president said the document included principles that would restrict freedom of expression and institutional independence. Vanderbilt and Arizona State said they would provide feedback and did not rule out signing.
