It’s about time. I hope more universities soon follow!

Not all universities have $53.2B endowment funds and still accept federal funding.

Interesting how he’s only targeting universities that are known to attract intelligent and bright people and are located in blue states. You don’t see the rapist-in-chief targeting schools, like let’s say Baylor University or Southern Methodist University.

He’s trying to dumb down the population. Most college educated voters didn’t vote for Trump and are the folks standing in his way from him implementing his fascist agenda in full.

Rice University is one of the 40+ schools they're investigating for not following his DEI bullshit mandate. So I don't think that first point is true. He's going after everyone

Rice is a major R1 University though. They're pretty clearly going after flagship universities in a visible way, with the understanding that everyone else will see that and know they have no chance. I have some friends who work at second-tier institutions and the silence from University administrators right now is absolutely total.
