[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid crossed Vandy off his list due to their appalling Trump bootlicking[/quote]

You’ve just revealed that your kid - and maybe you too - acted before they understood the situation.

Maybe your student should apply to a less selective school that doesn’t require an understanding of nuance and is ok with bombastic (bootlicking?) assessments. [/quote]

Vandy is being targeted.  Regardless of which letter they received, they received a letter from this anti-education administration.  And being targeted by this administration is a negative for higher education.[/quote]

Yes, but what does the general situation facing all universities have to do with a parent proudly proclaiming that their son crossed off Vanderbilt from his application list due to their “appalling Trump bootlicking”?

Yes, the Administration is wrong, but in this environment, all institutions need to be careful about how they respond. Beating one’s chest in defiance is not the best response here, especially when the school was asked for feedback, not a yes/no response. [/quote]

It stinks for Vanderbilt to be signaled out.  It may still be the right place for some students and it definitely may not be the right place for some students.  the letter from the Trump administration to Vanderbilt is a negative for many students that want to pursue their higher education.[/quote]
