Trump Administration Asks Colleges to Sign 'Compact' to Get Funding Preference - The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/us/politics/trump-college-funding.html
The White House on Wednesday sent letters to nine of the nation's top public and private universities, urging campus leaders to pledge support for President Trump's political agenda to help ensure access to federal research funds…….
The compact would require colleges to freeze tuition for five years, cap the enrollment of international students and commit to strict definitions of gender. Among other steps, universities would also be required to change their governance structures to prohibit anything that would "punish, belittle and even spark violence against conservative ideas."……….
Letters were sent on Wednesday to the University of Arizona, Brown University, Dartmouth College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Southern California, the University of Texas, Vanderbilt University and the University of Virginia……..
"Today it's these things," said Ted Mitchell, the president of the American Council on Education, who served in the Obama administration. "Next week, it may be a whole new set. This is a power play, and it's designed to divide the higher education community."
He described the threat of revoking funding as "the biggest waiver of institutional protections that I've ever seen," saying that the compact seemed to gut longstanding legal safeguards…….
The so-called "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education" is effectively a declaration of the administration's political priorities for higher education."
Trump is going through Project 2025 and checking all the boxes.

"I have nothing to do with Project 2025," Trump said in the ABC News Presidential Debate. "I haven't read it. I don't want to read it purposely. I'm not going to read it."
