SEEKING SOLUTIONS Based on the early returns, Trump’s
federal support. For Dershowitz, withholding funds
to shift the focus of the nation’s most prestigious academic institutions back to education-based values should be a goal that garners bipartisan support. “Reasonable people can agree that
taxpayers shouldn’t be paying for groups that attack Jews, or a lot of this other nonsense or hate that has noth- ing to do with education,” he said.
than succumbing to the dehumanizing, discriminatory trend of so-called ‘social justice’ and ‘multicultural diversity,’ which judges individuals not as individuals, but as members of a group and which pits one group against other competing groups in divisive power struggles.” Hillsdale’s academic independence
“ Harvard has already settled two lawsuits, and the law- yers they sent in to deal with this are close to Trump and known for their ability to compromise.” — Alan Dershowitz
has set it apart from its Ivy League counterparts. Although schools like Harvard and Columbia are private, the significant federal funds that flow to their campuses through student aid, grants, and research funding always come with conditions. As a result, many of these publicly funded schools are now facing repercussions for what Trump claims is the promotion of extreme left-wing ideologies. As a solution, Arnn suggests that Harvard would achieve greater success if it followed the Hillsdale model and weaned itself from taxpayer handouts. “If my calculations are right, [Harvard]
gets $90,000 per student a year from the federal government,” he told the Journal. “They should give it all up; they should
make an honest living.” Furthermore, the small independent
college has demonstrated that it isn’t afraid to take a poke at Goliath. After Harvard’s president, Alan Garber, asserted in April that no government should “dictate what private universities can teach,” Hillsdale responded with a post on
multipronged pressure campaign is highly effective. Many schools have already expressed
a willingness to collaborate with the new administration. In response to concerns about los-
ing funding, Columbia enacted measures such as banning face masks, increasing the authority of campus police, and en- forcing stricter oversight of its Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Stud- ies departments. Furthermore, disruptive protests have
begun to decline around the nation as school administrators appear to have es- tablished a degree of control. Dershowitz credits Trump, saying,
“It’s because it’s all happening simulta- neously: The Trump requirement for transparency will influence foreign money. Combine that with the threat of
its social media page: “There is another way: Refuse taxpayer money.” David M. Whalen, associate vice
president for curriculum at Hillsdale and an English professor, told Newsmax that Hillsdale is reverting to the educational model from before the late 1950s by rejecting federal funding. “It was the road map that all
universities followed in the 1950s. Higher education was completely independent of those federal strings, and for good reason — if the primary interest was the quality of education.” Whalen says that most universities
have become dependent on federal funding to the point that they would be rendered financially insolvent without it, which presents a real societal danger. “It pertains to the very nature of what it means to be a self-governing republic. You want an educated citizenry that shapes our government. You don’t want a government that has control of education, so it shapes the citizenry, and unfortunately, at most schools, that is precisely what exists.” — M.L.
