Universities have become a racket whose main purpose is to bury dumb eighteen year olds in "student loan debt" for worthless degrees in imaginary "disciplines."

It's high time we reached peak "higher education."

Nice multimillion dollar endowments you have there. It would be a shame if someone taxed them.

What’s their problem since they are ‘The Enemy’ from the majority of us already.

“Many of President Trump’s top advisers are the architects of Project 2025, which seeks to dismantle higher education, not reform it, and to replace what they perceive as woke Marxist ideology with their own conservative ideology.”

Hey! No fair!

Now they're horning in on our territory.

They can't do what we've always done. It's not fair.

You think? Colleges have supported the hater’s of America. Don’t blame Trump, blame yourselves because of your hate of America!

The outpouring of Anti-Israel protest has put Higher Education in a bad light if nothing else did before Trump intends to control accreditation on a national level for colleges-universities.

At the same time he is decentralizing control of Primary and Secondary Education back to the states.

I knew it was a scam in 1977 in my freshman year when half of my entering class were taking remedial classes. Stuff they should have learned in high school. I did.

I filed my first degree as a junior. Mist were still changing majors.

Colleges and Universities should cosign every student loan.

Taxpayers should not be on the hook for indoctrination centers for socialism.

Academia is one of the key institutions that needs to be brought to heel in any renewal of America. The propagandists and their brainwashing must be thoroughly driven out; but this will basically empty many departments in their entirety. Which will be no loss from the standpoint of actual education. Even 30+ years ago when I was in college the non-STEM classes were all brainwashing, with each prof having a clear and distinct emphasis - the anthropology prof pushing Marxism, the socialist economics professors, the anti-imperialist Indian history prof, the very atheistic astronomy prof, the post-modern English literature teachers and so on. I’m sure it’s even worse now.

Tax all income earned by university endowments. Deny tax deductions for gifts made to universities.

Let them pay full freight without taxpayer subsidies.

Most “University Faculty” are the sworn enemies toward anyone in his right mind.

In a sane world, they would all be FIRED and the Faculties would be forced to start from scratch.

This goes DOUBLE for the “Tenured Professors” who are nothing more than rabid leftoids and school-yard bullies.

Colleges Wonder if They Will Be ‘the Enemy’ Under Trump

I already voted for Trump. You don't have to sell it to me.

All these people should only expect justice

1. If they haven’t broken the law, they have nothing to be afraid of.
2. No one is above the law.

That’s what they told Trump, conservatives, and his supporters.
Expect the left to live up to their rules.

They say Mr Trump, even though Trump is a former President and currently president-elect.

While NEVER referring to Obama as anything but President Obama.

During Trump’s first term, there was a government web site that listed starting salaries by major for colleges. It disappeared under Biden.

I would like it restored and enhanced.
