The article criticizes elite private universities for their negative impact on college admissions and overall higher education. It suggests a future where these institutions share their wealth with public universities via taxation. The author discusses the Trump administration's proposal to tax university endowments, recognizing its merits but pointing out the chaotic implementation. Citing Princeton’s David Ball, the author notes that although the Trump administration's views on the internationalization of schools may lack depth, the issue itself deserves attention in discussions of higher education reform.
In my book, I suggest a positive future path for the collective of higher education would be for our wealthiest private institutions to share some of that wealth through a system of taxation.
It's a reasonable idea, but unfortunately it's being carried out in a haphazard fashion. The Trump administration's proposal to tax university endowments has merit but lacks coherence.
Princeton history professor David Ball's remarks highlight that while the Trump administration's handling is crude, the desire to discuss international students is indeed a real issue.
Ball argues that no one should take the Trump administration's position seriously, suggesting that the crude handling doesn't negate the importance of the discussion on international student enrollment.
