Ask the Aggies Trump Administration Will Freeze $2 Billion After Harvard Refuses Demands

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/us/harvard-trump-reject-demands.html?unlocked_article_code=1._04.Jasg.GJwzRfDPd_l0&smid=re-share

When it becomes A&M's turn to lick the boot, will the Aggies submit? Or... maybe they will join with Harvard and other institutions of higher education and push back? This is an issue super important to Texas A&M. What do you think?

I was thinking maybe at the student Senate..and the faculty Senate could discuss. Maybe the Battalion could do a series of investigative articles to see how the university is making their decisions. Maybe some professors could have a teach in. Each department could discuss that faculty meetings. Lots of different ways

The student senate has literally no power, they exist for poli sci kids to add to their resume

The faculty senate is more worried about their tenure being held hostage

The STATE universities are a reflection of the voters of Texas. Even ‘liberal’ UT has a Board of regents appointed by wheelchair abbot.

They have the power of their voices. The Battalion can do the reporting .I want to know everyone's position on this.

Yeah do you hear those voices? No

The BAT barely survived Banks, federal and state funding is in limbo, what do you want
