Harvard University announced it will not comply with orders from Donald Trump to cut DEI programs and expel students in involved in pro-Palestinian protests.
Donald Trump proposed taxing large private university endowments as part of his 2024 election campaign.
This tax aims to fund the creation of the “American Academy,” a new institution designed to provide free, high-quality educational content. The tax would target excessively large endowments, collecting billions of dollars to support this initiative
This proposal is part of a broader effort to reshape higher education and address political controversies within universities. The tax on endowment investment income could significantly impact universities with large endowments.
Anyone who can see that with any republican sentiment in the government, that ‘high quality educational content’ is going to be pants on head idiotic shilling for conservative viewpoints?

This just sounds like they’re going to contract PragerU to rebrand their videos and then someone will pocket billions of dollars.

Read the letter sent to Harvard. It will give you the idea what the new higher ed would look like.
