“Trump’s compact is the greatest single incursion into the freedom & autonomy of higher education to ever happen in this country.” — Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

Opinion | Trump Is Insatiable The president is trying to pick off institutions (and people) one by one.

“What made Hitler’s orders stick, Silova argued, ‘was the eagerness of many academic leaders to comply, justify and normalize the new order … Within a few years, German universities no longer served knowledge — they served power.’” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/o...

The Trump admin’s offer to give preferential treatment to institutions that toe the party line reeks of bribery in exchange for allegiance to a partisan ideological agenda.

This is corruption.

Adherence to ‘loyalty oaths’ would usher in a new era of thought policing in American higher education.
