MIT says it will reject the Trump university compact. USC, when we asked today, declined to take any further position on the proposal. @danielnmiller.bsky.social and I report:

As USC considers Trump’s offer tying funding to conservative policies, MIT firmly rejects it
MIT is among the first to express forceful views either in favor of or against an agreement the White House billed as providing "multiple positive benefits."

Much of the coverage of this White House "compact" remains really very bad, including today's headlines about MIT. Read @fishkin.bsky.social on what's actually going on here.

I'm not going to post another whole thread on this but journalists need to take a serious look under the hood before they glance through this document and conclude that it looks mostly normal.

*It looks that way in order to fool you into saying that. That's the point.*
They folded the big First Amendment violations in with a bunch of other stuff, including things that are totally unobjectionable and that universities are already doing, in order to make the overall document read as reasonable to someone who doesn't know the ins and outs of it. Don't be that person.

"Trump's 'compact with universities is just extortion... the future of higher education in America requires that every university reject it."

Very good from UC Berkley law dean Erwin Chemerinsky.

Higher ed leaders should all do so, and donors, unions, anyone with influence should pressure them to.

First Trump blackmailed universities into suppressing free speech. Now he’s bribing them with taxpayer dollars to enforce his agenda. Corruption and authoritarianism, plain and simple.

No university should cave to this blatantly unconstitutional coercion.

This is part of a broader effort to use the power of the state to force all aspects of society to conform to MAGA values (Gleichschaltung). Accepting would be an egregious violation of academic freedom.
