Elite universities’ deep-pocketed patrons have stayed largely silent as the Trump administration strips away the schools’ federal funding and targets students demonstrating in support of Gaza. Some, such as Harvard mega-donor Bill Ackman, have rather welcomed the strong-arm tactics. “In the current environment, the grievances of those donors — against diversity initiatives and unruly agitators — stand in precise alignment with the agenda in Washington,” writes the New York Times. Michael Roth, president of Wesleyan University, said universities have isolated themselves by ignoring wide swathes of the public, including conservative and religious groups. (New York Times)
The Trump administration has asked nonprofits and local governments in Texas that receive federal grants to provide the names and addresses of migrants they have aided. A letter from the Federal Emergency Management Agency suggests the organizations are suspected of violating human-smuggling laws, echoing an allegation that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has leveled against them. Paxton’s various lawsuits have met repeated setbacks but are still working their way through the courts. Most of the counties and nonprofits targeted could not be reached for comment, but the executive director of one shelter said he no longer has the federal funds to pay staff to fill out the requested paperwork.
