The article discusses the threats facing higher education by the Trump administration, including potential loss of federal funding and nonprofit status. Universities are pressured to conform to governmental demands regarding admissions and curriculum, jeopardizing their fundamental values. Harvard's refusal to capitulate is highlighted as a courageous stand; however, not all institutions have the financial resources to resist such pressures. The implications for both wealthy and less affluent universities are dire, with the survival of academic freedom hanging in the balance.
Higher education is under attack from the person who inhabits the White House.
Columbia University has learned the hard way that you can't negotiate with an autocrat.

If they say shut the door when Trump & Co. come calling, the consequences would doubtlessly be devastating.
