Trump cuts more than $400 million in grants to Columbia over antisemitism concerns, potentially more to come

By Alec Schemmel  | Fox News The Trump administration announced on Friday that it will rescind more than $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University, citing concerns over rising antisemitism on campus and the school's failure to address it. Earlier this week, the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Education (DoED) and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced the initiation of a "comprehensive review" of more than $5 billion in federal grant money that goes to Columbia, "in light of ongoing investigations for potential violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act" related to antisemitism on campus.  It has only been four days since the Trump administration's announcement of this review, but the agencies have already begun slas...

Eden: A comprehensive guide to overhauling higher education

By Max Eden | Commentary, Washington Examiner Five years ago, President Donald Trump’s education secretary, Betsy DeVos, stood all but alone against the Democratic drive for student loan forgiveness. The conventional wisdom at the time was that free-college-for-all was a sure-fire winning issue for the Democrats. Why wouldn’t Trump’s education secretary simply allow a polite, quiet surrender? How the times have changed. America has spent the past four years under an administration that governed according to university-created woke ideology. In the past year alone, college presidents kowtowed to pro-genocidal campus quad glampers. All of this has totally flipped Republicans, and so many people in general, against our universities. No one is wondering whether T...

The University of Denver is joining the STARS College Network to recruit more rural students

By Jason Gonzales | Chalkbeat Colorado Rural students may graduate high school at higher rates than their peers, but they’re also less likely to end up on a college campus. The University of Denver wants to change that statistic through a partnership that’s brought together 32 prominent public and private universities to help rural students learn about their college options, help them enroll, and support them to graduation. Last week, the Denver private university announced its participation in the Small Town and Rural Students College Network, or the STARS College Network, now in its second year. Participating schools include private institutions like Yale, Vanderbilt, and Duke, historically Black university Spelman College, and public flagships such as the University o...

Sloan: The DEI facade is showing cracks

By Kelly Sloan | Special Contributor, The Rocky Mountain Voice Last week, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's board of trustees did what only a short time ago would have been considered an unthinkable act of social regression: they voted, unanimously, to not only cut the $2.3 million funding of the institution’s DEI program, but to reroute that money into public safety – yes, meaning campus police.  It is but one example of the slow, but steady retreat from the madness of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) programs that have metastasized throughout our culture in the wake of the civil unrest stemming from the killing of George Floyd in 2020. The innocuous-sounding trifecta – who could argue against those values in a pluralistic society? – disguised a far m...
