The ongoing White House renovation project exemplifies a troubling disregard for democratic process. The WH is not the private property of the president. Imagine renting your home to someone who decides to tear down a wall without your permission; that’s precisely what this situation feels like.

Friends, this is simple: the so-called White House Compact undermines merit-based funding while distracting the public with progressive slogans like “free tuition” . In reality, it’s turning science into a partisan issue. JOIN TOGETHER TO say NO to it. #MADC #standtogetherforhighereducation

Rutgers president: Cancel culture is not an antidote. Universities must keep free speech.
William F. Tate IV: Protecting free speech, as we do at Rutgers, does not mean endorsing every view expressed on campus.

College isn’t just about earning a degree. It is about learning to think critically. You’re challenged at your core, pushed to question beliefs, listen deeply, and build understanding. That’s the real power of education: it shapes how you think, not just what you know. #College #madc

Academic freedom isn’t one-sided. It means students and faculty must engage with openness and respect. College is not about comfort—it’s about challenge. Growth happens when ideas clash, perceptions are tested, and critical thinking turns disagreement into understanding. #markbray #masc
