Media Miss by the right: Trump explores new system to enforce university loyalty, compliance

The Trump administration is working on a new funding plan that aims to bring U.S. universities in line with the president’s goals and concerns, according to a report by The Washington Post. The new approach would replace the administration’s current strategy of litigating against universities and pulling their funding en masse, which has faced significant backlash from U.S. scholars and the academic community.
