Michael Goodwin: Cash is king at America's lefty universities - and Trump is hitting them where it hurts
Briefly

The article discusses President Trump's strategies to reform the U.S. university system by addressing perceived radicalism and protecting civil rights, particularly for Jewish students. It critiques an alarming New York Times article that foresees disastrous consequences for academic institutions if Trump succeeds. Contrary to such predictions, amidst threats to cut funding, Columbia University swiftly complied with Trump's demands. The piece suggests a broader trend, with over 60 universities potentially facing similar pressures, indicating that financial dependency on federal funding might compel these institutions to conform to Trump's agenda.
Alas, that headline appeared in The New York Times, and writer Alan Blinder definitely doesn't get it. His article was drowning in doom and gloom.
Money talks, who knew? Falling in line. Most important, with some 60 other schools in the federal crosshairs for similar misconduct, including Harvard, Penn and Northwestern, a clear settlement pattern has now been established.
The president aims to shake up the arrogant, radical university system and save taxpayers money at the same time. Somebody finally gets it, I thought.
Within hours of the article's publication, Columbia University agreed to all of Trump's demands to protect the civil rights of Jewish students and others who don't subscribe to the school's hard-left indoctrination against America and Israel.
