I suppose the Federal government can put the arm on universities when it comes to whether they are spending Federal dollars legally. Or, if they are violating anti-discrimination law in admissions or policies (such as letting protestors shut down classrooms or storm the local Hillel House). Where the train stops is dictating curriculum content. I'm not a fan of some stuff I have read, but academic freedom means the Attorney General's Office can pound sand.

I was surprised to see UNC-Greensboro literally changed their core curriculum MIDSEMESTER to comply and is also cleansing its websites and it's probably just a matter of time before faculty are told they can't teach courses that include "diversity" (and related concepts).

Was it George Mason Univ. that told the AG's office to pound sand as far as dictating curriculum? I'm waiting for the lawsuits.

I don’t recall. I’m sure there will be lawsuits but the current administration seems willing to ignore court orders and many of us are discovering that the judicial branch is toothless in terms of enforcement.

Besides all the B.S. and forcing universities to white wash American history…what international student is going to want to choose the U.S. to come and study!!! These are some of the young & brightest minds on the planet!!! Pretty much what this administration is doing is telling international students are welcome, as long as they’re white!!!
