They had to agree to dissolve all DEI policies & no protesting. We know it was never about antisemitism. I'm sure they had to agree to a lot of changing curriculum and pitching conservative thinking. God only knows what changes in Science teaching.

The incessant attacks on freedom of speech, higher education, international students, and virtually every other institutional norms will only serve to the detriment of the United States, with Columbia University being one of the first dominos to fall. RIP America.

The amount of money that elite universities have paid to this fascist administration. They could’ve used that money to increase financial aid or create scholarships so that low-income and middle-class students wouldn’t have to take out high amounts of student loans, but that’s too frivolous.

I realize that "deal" has only four characters, so perhaps it's useful in a headline, but I wish media would stop referring to extortion and capitulation as "deals"; it plays into the idea that Trump is in any way an effectual negotiator, when he is just a thug.

The leadership of the elite university submits, even if it presents the outward comparison as a good agreement. In this way, they help the "divider-in-chief", the nation's top divider to drive a wedge between the attacked universities and to divide the US university landscape. Harvard under pressure

Even if one thinks that paying Trump this ransom is appropriate (it isn't), shouldn't the group (trustees) who oversaw the trainwreck that resulted in such a payment resign? Is there *any* accountability for arriving at this terrible decision?
