[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are these "illegal protests" he is worrying about mostly about Gaza?  If so, I hope all the muslims who voted for him see what they got.  They got the leopard-eats-your-face.  I hope they will stand with people who believe in tradition, democracy, and rule-of-law now, instead of obvious thugs[/quote]

Of course it’s about Gaza, and probably any anti Trump protests that will probably intensify as the economy collapses.[b] Universities are probably about to get seriously wrecked over the next couple of years.[/b][/quote]

I'm trying to send my HS senior off to college this fall and I can't tell if these statements are chicken little ories collapsing a a real concern.[/quote]

If we don't turn around the admin soon, here is what you will see:
-Universities collapsing as fin aid gets pulled
-Universities collapsing as funding gets pulled
-Universities collapsing if the economy tanks (normally, this is good for two year colleges, but see above)
-Universities collapsing because faculty and staff bail out of fear and funding cuts.
-Vital research cut off at the knees

Most of these elite schools have huge endowments. They aren't going to collapse. Some could run on the interest from their endowments indefinitely.[/quote]

It's not going to affect JUST "elite" schools. Those schools, while a preoccupation of some on DCUM, only educate a fraction of American college students.

[b]Red-state universities push back against NIH funding cuts[/b]

Red-state universities are hitting back at the Trump administration’s expansive cuts to science and research funding, warning they would be forced to shutter laboratories and lay off staff should they face the sudden elimination of millions of dollars in funding. The blowback, echoed by at least two Republican senators, marks the most widespread political resistance the Trump administration has faced in its rapid sprint to reshape the federal government and its spending policies.

[b]The administration has framed its blanket cap on National Institutes of Health funding for research-related administrative costs as reining in elite coastal institutions like Harvard and Yale, which it argues has vacuumed up too much taxpayer money. Yet in a flurry of lawsuits and dire pleas, universities in ruby red states like Alabama and Kentucky warned that the cuts could be devastating to public institutions that are widely regarded as economic engines in their regions.
