The Trump Administration has intensified its focus on colleges, particularly targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Schools like Johns Hopkins and the University of Pennsylvania face significant funding cuts, while institutions are pressured to conform to federal demands regarding student activism. Columbia University's acceptance of these demands resulted in immediate consequences, including administrative resignations. This trend reflects broader pressures on higher education institutions to prioritize funding over academic integrity and free expression, highlighting a growing climate of fear among university leaders regarding government backlash.
"In the past month, the Administration has announced it will investigate diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts at more than fifty schools, cutting funding from institutions like Johns Hopkins."
"The university agreed to the federal government's demands, which included changes to discipline and admission policies, leading to significant shifts in its governance."
