Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday threatened to cut “billions” in state funding, including to USC, from any California campus that signs a Trump administration compact and agrees to sweeping and largely conservative campus policies in exchange for priority access to federal funding.
“If any California University signs this radical agreement, they’ll lose billions in state funding — including Cal Grants — instantly,” Newsom said. “California will not bankroll schools that sell out their students, professors, researchers, and surrender academic freedom.”
The bold statement came less than a day after the the White House asked the University of Southern California and eight other major universities throughout the country to shift to the right and agree to Trump’s views on gender identity, admissions, diversity and free speech among other areas — in exchange for more favorable access to federal research grants and additional funding.
Universities were asked to sign a “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” committing them to adopt the White House’s conservative vision for America’s campuses. The letter, sent out Wednesday, also suggests colleges should align with Trump’s views on student discipline, college affordability and the importance of hard sciences over liberal arts.
The request represents the latest tactic by the Trump administration to aggressively reshape universities — which he says are bastions of liberalism that are intolerant of Republicans — by leveraging federal funding to force campuses adhere to his conservative ideals.
Newsom’s quick swing back ratchets up his strident push against the Trump administration — including mocking Trump’s social media. Newsom’s statement Thursday was issued in all-capital letters, mirroring the president’s trademark social media style.

This is more fun watching than a cock fight.
Game on!
Buy popcorn futures! This is getting good.
Newsom is a jucking foke.
He’s the Zelensky of CA. He has no cards...
Based on USC’s fiscal year 2024 financial data (ending June 30, 2024), the university received approximately $1.35 billion in total federal funding and an estimated $20–30 million in California state funding. This results in federal funding being roughly 45–67 times higher than state funding. These figures are derived from USC’s official reports and financial updates;
Can’t fedgov play this game, too?

Steelers Wheel......
The universities need to appeal to some judges in Texas or South Dakota or maybe even Oklahoma, to get this shut down.
Mighty fascist of him, wouldn’t you say?
“””Steelers Wheel......””””
Yup.
The left, getting bummed in the bum from both sides is a bummer
NewSCUM should stick to doing what he does best, setting cities on fire, he is really good at that
Gavin is working on his balanced State budget?
LASlimes characterizes getting rid of some of the Satanic racism at the university.... as “playing into Trump’s political agenda”
it is no wonder that the LASlimes lost so much of its franchise.
(And lest we forget, the LASlimes held.. and I believe still holds... the tape of Obammy or whatever his real name might be....spewing anti-American BS at a lunch with Moslem $$$$ donors)?
Trump is pretty close to making Gavin act like “full grown baby.”
How about the feds just cut ALL federal funding for CA in response?
Could a person be more clueless?????????
What depth of deception and to think people CHOOSE to go that route. Unreal.
It’s safer to go with Trump
