"as long as they are not begging for federal funding, universities are free to implement any lawful policies they would like."
"appears to be an effort to regain momentum by threatening institutions to sign even though it's obviously not in the schools' interest to do so."
The White House plans a Friday virtual meeting with five universities that have not responded to a proposed higher-education compact after four universities publicly rejected it. A White House official confirmed the meeting but did not disclose its purpose or the attending schools. Nine universities were asked to give feedback by Oct. 20. The meeting will likely include May Mailman and Vincent Haley; Mailman, Haley and Education Secretary Linda McMahon signed the initial letter. MIT, Brown, Penn and USC rejected the compact. Other named universities have not publicly agreed or declined. Trump officials tied agreement to potential grant access and warned of threatened funding for noncompliance.
