Trump Admin Links Federal Funds to Colleges Accepting Its 'Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education'

““IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY’LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY. CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement Thursday”

I am glad for this and agree with this, but also feel bad for the students who are just trying to get a good education but who are now political pawns caught in the middle of all of this through no fault of their own. Many could unexpectedly lose a good chunk of their financial aid if this happens.
