Yes, VP Vance went to Yale Law (and Ohio State undergrad), but he is now vehemently anti-elite universities:

Trump taps J.D. Vance, sharp critic of higher ed, for VP

The Yale Law School graduate has used sharp criticism of elite higher ed to help establish his MAGA bona fides and build a national brand.

I suspect Trump’s view is more nuanced. He’s a Wharton guy who seems to like to hire Ivy Leaguers (like Vance and Sec Def Hegseth, for example) but who remembers a time when universities were much more patriotic, and likely wants to push them back to that characteristic, at least somewhat. Seems like he’s disgusted by what’s going on and wants to force change.
