There's a difference between claiming a mandate and having a mandate. Journalists and some academics assume that Trump now has a mandate for anti-intellectualism. An unforced error; no need to adopt such a far-right framing. As of now, no evidence higher ed. played a real role in the election.

President-elect Donald Trump has said universities are run by "Marxist maniacs." His win poses a threat to President Joe Biden's education agenda.
