Trump LOVES to talk about his Wharton degree. He is personally very impressed by Ivy League credentials. His VP went to Yale for grad school. In fact, many of his nominees went to Ivy League schools (or adjacent) for undergrad or grad school. Why would he hire so many people tainted by leftist ideology?

Where did his attorney general go to law school?

He can do whatever he wants. That is what the country voted for. He could literally take you out if you don't like it and that would be that.

FASCISM

Bought to you by the voters of the United States of America.

And voter suppression.

The woke drove away the voters.

I’d consider this a win for future students who won’t be saddled with student loan debt.

They won’t have the means to pay for college either way. It only benefits the UMC who have additional disposable income to plow into 529 plans. It does not benefit students who require grants and loans because they are without family or parental financial support.

Without all those students using grants and loans, colleges will have to lower prices to keep that money flowing in.

The Ivies may continue to only be for the rich, but I could see state schools cut tuition to have higher enrollment.

VA Tech isn’t just going to only have 10,000 students attend who can afford full pay. Better to lower tuition to ensure full enrollment and a higher bottom line.

I do not think prices will change at all as the T100 colleges could fill up on qualified rich kids.

Why? There is nothing that even suggests this.

Do trans student become ineligble for government-backed loans? Does their presence in laboratoties and research spaces, even if the work being done is unrelated to gender, put those spaces at risk for losing funding?

These are not crazy questions anymore, these are real things on the horizon for one group of people. And if you think the trans community is the only group who will feel the affects of this sort of control you are kidding yourself. They are canaries in this coalmine. We either pay attention now or pay the price for our silence and inaction later.

Per the other thread it sounds like nothing will be dispersed until it is approved by the felon and his OMB chief. Vance doesn’t want any funding to higher ed. In Trump’s campaign stuff he said he wanted patriotic schools.

+1

Everything government subsidies rises in price much faster than what it doesn't.

What about current students that need this aid?

Guess you're gonna have to go work and earn the money to pay the bill. What a novel idea!

Yah! What a great idea! Students already enrolled in school can just go find a job that will pay 60K a year! Because RIGHT NOW, despite your theory on how this lowers costs for colleges in future, it does NOTHING right now.

OH, I can already see your next post! “Shouldn’t have gone to a college you couldn’t afford.” Said with all the smugness of a complete a**hole.

So now you guys will be flooding the job market with people fired from the federal government and people who were unable to complete their degrees.

I sincerely hope for the worst, the absolute worst to happen to you and your family. I hope you choke on it.

Increasing cost can be linked to increase government grants and loans.

It was the bomb threats and the crooked individuals who tossed aside D votes for illegitimate reasons.

Have you set foot on a college campus lately? Dorms are really nice. Everything is luxury compared to my dorm room in college. I think college became expensive because they’re like resorts now.

What can scientists study without funding, legitimate oversight, and freedom of speech????

There is a long history of the persecution of the educated classes across time and across the world. It doesn't end well.

It’s one of the first stages of fascism. Always.

Many of today's universities are just a hedge fund with a diploma printer attached.

The rot in the USA goes far and deep.

Wrong. I get if you are degreed in a legitimate enterprise: medical, architecture, science, business, mathematics, engineering of all kinds, a trade, physics, IT, law, etc. That's an honest line of work.

But if you have a grievance degree and use it to grift (and steal by force of government), then you deserve to be persecuted. You aren't an intellectual. You're a modern day white collar criminal and deserve to be persecuted.

You're a drag on the economic well-being of this country.
