In Our Name: A Message from Jewish Students at Columbia University

[Vice President Christian Man]

Ron DeSantis was wrong as he completely underestimated how big the rot in academia is . Like it’s insane how big it’s gotten and something needs to be done about it ASAP

What could be done about this realistically? The only things you could do is deport foreign students who hold views hostile to our allies and cut off federal funding. The later wouldn't impact most of the students, but would rob the opportunity of someone who has the intelligence but lacks the money from attending, potentially locking them out of opportunities to become wealthier after they graduate as they'd lack the employment opportunities and  vital connections that are needed to work there. Anything else would be a violation of the 1A, especially if you go down the path of outlawing private universities and nationalizing them in an attempt to crack down on unfavorable viewpoints of the faculty and students.

Many things :

- End all DEI programs

- Make universities co-sign on student loans

- reshape higher education in general to be about primarily about improving career prospects than the egalitarian view of it . The government’s job should be mainly economic anyway and not pushing egalitarianism (private donors can do that if they want too)

DEI is a failed experiment, but many students already have progressive views when they enter college and a there's usually a low faculty turnover rate. You could argue for banning DEI at the High School level which some governors have done, but again I'm not sure how effective this really is other than trying to maintain what the status quo was pre-Covid. This reminds me of when the government tried to implement DARE programs to reduce drug use, but one study showed this to have the opposite impact which presents the risk of a potential backfiring in this area.
