Trump's higher ed shakeup starts a new semester

As the new semester begins, the Trump administration is actively implementing a series of changes aimed at reshaping the landscape of American higher education. These efforts involve the strategic use of federal funding and the threat of litigation against universities that the administration views as misaligned with its policy priorities.

These actions have sparked a debate regarding the role of government oversight in academia. While the administration pursues these policy shifts, critics argue that such measures subject institutions of higher learning to political influence and external pressure.
