> This all started when the govt began withholding federal funding in an attempt to clamp down on campus protests

This is definitely not why the 'govt began withholding federal funding'



I guess it's the excuse, maybe not the real reason. But the cases with UCLA and Harvard is when this all changed

That is not true. Those happened in 2024.

The extortionate demands are happening in 2025.

The campus protests are clearly a pretext.


Yeah it's more like "clamp down on higher education."

I've said it multiple times, Trump and his folks see higher education as the enemy, the anti-Christ that corrupts their vision of America. Protests and admin bureaucracy (give me a fucking break) are just convenient excuses.
