I wasn’t aware they were getting federal funds, but if they are, by all means, cut them off.

Also time to cut off colleges who won’t allow military recruiters.

Student loans (either Fed-originated or with Federal guarantees), Federal student grants, and Federal research grants are the lifeblood of most colleges today.

That university, as an arm of the state, is also depriving citizens of equal protection of the law by refusing to protect conservatives. Time for civil rights penalties and injunctive relief.

There is no doubt there are Federally guaranteed student loans, and probably a lot else besides.

The funding they get falls under something called Title 9. And yes President Trump can withhold funding.

I am curious how much funding they get.

1). Students receiving grants and government backed student loads.

2). Research grants

Cut it all off.

BTW, I have always thought that schools should not receive federal money. That money in the past has been used to force the schools to follow a leftist agenda. So, it is a bit refreshing to cook them in their own oils.

Of course! Students gets Title IV tuition loans (that are never repaid) and tens of millions of $$ in grants and research funds.

Even better, is to yank tuition loans to students charged with unlawful activity on campus.

I would surmise that MOST colleges and universities receive federal funds in some form: grants (especially grants), scholarships, loans, etc.

Hillsdale College excepted.

According to reports this morning, they got approximately $360 million in grants from the fed last year alone, a lot of that went towards research.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. That would violate their constitutional right to warfully assemble and attack people they disagree with. Cutting off federal funds would make it that their actions had consequences, and the founding fathers fought long and hard to avoid the consequences of dumping tea in the water and burning stamps. No consequences is a principle worth fighting for, so long as nobody suffers any booboos while fighting for it.
