We will need to name and extensively shame any college or university who does this.

@dartmouthcollege.bsky.social , since you have refused to sign the AACU letter that other schools have signed, you are a prime suspect.

Surely admissions will be affected.

The White House is looking to strike a deal with a high-profile school, said the first source, who is involved in the higher education response. “They want a name-brand university to make a deal like the law firms made a deal that covers not just antisemitism and protests, but DEI and intellectual diversity,” this person said. “They want Trump to be able to stand up and say he made a deal with so-and-so – an Ivy League school, some sort of name-brand school that gives them cover so they can say, ‘We don’t want to destroy higher education.’” Asked if any of the schools are inclined to make such a deal, the source said, “Nobody wants to be the first, but the financial pressures are getting real.” Many schools have already experienced significant federal funding cuts, and there is mounting uncertainty about the future of visas for international students, who are more likely to pay full tuition compared to their American counterparts.
