You can’t make any requirement you want.

Why are there any requirements at all?

There’s lots of requirements that make sense.

WTF?

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a landmark federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. It ensures equal opportunities for both male and female students in education, including athletics.

Mar 4, 2025 — "All federal funding will STOP for any College, School or University that allows illegal protests," Trump wrote on social media.

"Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS!"

ONE is a law passed by congress.
One is a personal vendetta by a lying SNOWFLAKE.

And the Fed Government threatened to remove funding from schools if they didn't comply.

Just like Trump is doing with his interpretation of Title IX now when it comes to Transgenders, and what he is doing with other parts of education law saying if Schools let their Jewish students be intimidated and are not given proper educational access, they lose federal funding.

He is applying passed laws as he is interpreting them.

Oh, I see, requirements that makes sense in your world view. Not allowing anti-US and discriminatory actions and instruction on campuses don’t make sense, dependent on the groups being discriminated against of course. Gotcha.

Trump's requirements are based on his application and interpretation of passed federal laws.

Trump's EO references Title IX when it comes to him denying federal funds to schools that allow men to compete on women's teams.

Clearly in violation of the major questions doctrine. He can’t stop hundreds of billions of dollars unless Congress clearly lays that out in the law.

The civil rights of whites, asians and jews have been clearly laid out in law.


And AA, and dei, and the like, has been a clear and massive and long lasting violation of those rights.


Time to fix this issue. BRING THE HAMMER DOWN.


The harder the better.

LOL.
Trump's "Interpretation" isn't law.
It's his stupidity and of course, being a snowflake.


The Trump cult whines about Jewish students not being protected.
But could give a fuck about the entire school.

The Trump Admin is trying to tell colleges what and how to teach and hire and if they refuse… they’re pulling funding

How is that Constitutional?

Trump Admin Freezes More Than $2 Billion In Grants To Harvard

"The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights," Harvard's president Alan Garber said.

Probably constitutional, if a private college wants to qualify for Federal Funds. With the largest endowment of any college in the world (estimated at $53 Billion), and Harvard costs for a 4 year degree averaging $427,027 Dollars, they should fund themselves.

The Constitution.

I am sure Harvard's counsel will explain it to them in lawsuits soon to be filed.

Funding can indeed be a "property interest" subject to due process protections. The Administration has to have the level ability to deny funding first.

Academic freedom excludes governmental dictates.

There's a saying. "If you live on the king's coin, you live by the king's rules." Government puts all kinds of strings attached to receive funds. For example, the states accepted speed limits laws because the government tied accepting the law to getting federal funding for highway repair. The easy way to deal with this is to not accept any money from the government. Because of all the universities out there, Harvard may be hurt the least by not getting $2B. Their endowment is over 53 billion dollars.

Colleges aren't constitutionally entitled to federal funding.

But is it legal to PULL existing funding from ONLY those schools that won’t comply with what appears to be illegal orders?
