showitz, a Harvard Law School profes- sor emeritus, told us that the shift can be attributed to an abandonment by the Democratic Party of its fundamental core principles. “The liberal party I knew used to be a
firm supporter of civil rights for everyone; but unfortunately, that just isn’t what we see today,” said Dershowitz. He added that those who have taken
over the party have become immersed in selective outrage, paralleling a dark time in the nation’s past. “In the late 1950s, Southern schools,
with the support of Gov. George Wallace of Alabama and others, were allowing Klansmen to come on campus and in-

timidate African Americans and white supremacist teachers to teach white su- premacy,” said Dershowitz. “Imagine if the government said we
aren’t going to stand for this anymore. Every liberal would overwhelmingly sup- port that policy.” Added Dershowitz: “You can’t allow
different rules for anti-Black than anti- Jewish, and what Trump is trying to do is right these wrongs.” However, campus antisemitism is just
one of many concerns Trump is attempt- ing to address. Others include: DEI programs: The ongoing promotion
of divisive ideologies based on gender and race, including diversity, equity, and inclusion programs known as DEI, which prioritize certain groups based on skin color or sexual orientation. Despite a Supreme Court ruling stat- ing that this practice violates civil rights,

Thomas, who competed in women’s swimming. Cornell University experienced a $1 billion reduction in federal funding due to campus policies. Making their situation even more dire is that the schools’ traditional safeguard, their multibillion-dollar endowment funds, could be at risk. In March, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark.,
reintroduced the Woke Endowment Security Tax Act, legislation that would impose a 6% excise tax on the endowments of 11 American universities, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern, Columbia, and Cornell.

called ‘top’ universities continue to grow massive endowments almost entirely tax- free while failing to condemn antisemitism and violence against Jewish students on their campuses. We should levy this tax on these schools’ endowments.” Andrew Handel, director of the
Education and Workforce Development Task Force for the American Legislative Exchange Council, told Newsmax that even if taxed, these large endowments will help the Ivies weather the storm — but only temporarily. Many of these schools, including
Harvard, possess multibillion-dollar endowments, which will certainly “cushion

the blow,” said Handel. “Still, unless these schools fundamentally alter how they do business, they won’t be able to survive, at least in their current iteration, without federal assistance.” However, Trump has repeatedly outlined a path forward for the Ivies and other institutions; as he said at one campaign event, “We are going to choke off the money to schools that aid the Marxist assault on our American heritage and on Western civilization itself. The days of subsidizing communist indoctrination in our colleges will soon be over. “To every college president: Vanquish
the radicals and take back our campuses for all of the normal students.” — M.L.
