The article criticizes America's university leaders for their unpreparedness against the Trump administration's aggressive campaign against higher education. It specifically highlights Columbia University's response to the Department of Justice's threat to withdraw $400 million in federal research funding, citing alleged discrimination against Jewish students. The author argues that the move is illegal as it bypasses federal regulations requiring a voluntary resolution and does not pertain to the university's scientific work. This reflects a larger trend of governmental overreach and persecution of academic institutions.
"The leaders of America's top universities should have realized long ago that no amount of cowering and capitulation... will save them from the attack being unleashed and orchestrated by the Trump administration."
"Columbia University's meek acceptance of the outrageous, bullying announcement from the Department of Justice... that the White House intends to snatch back $400 million in federal research money based on what the administration called 'continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students.'"
