Topics
Jessica Rosenthal: 作为前普渡大学校长，我认为特朗普政府对高校歧视行为的审查是合理的。哈佛大学因歧视犹太和以色列学生而受到调查，其他大学也因 DEI 项目而受到审查。虽然对违反规定的行为进行制裁是必要的，但政府在学术自由方面不应过度干预，应采取有选择性的方法，避免一刀切。同时，大学也应反思自身的问题，认识到公众对其价值和价值观的质疑。 Caroline Leavitt: 作为白宫发言人，我认为哈佛大学校园的示威活动已经变得暴力，并且哈佛违反了 Title VI 法案，因此可能被取消联邦资助。如果大学违反了联邦法律，就不应该继续获得联邦税收的资助。 Mitch Daniels: 作为前大学校长，我认为对违反规定的行为进行制裁是必要的，但政府在学术自由方面不应过度干预。我赞成结束某些所谓的觉醒研究或甚至是科学研究的政治化，但国家仍然需要对正确类型的基本研究进行投资。对于中国学生，情况则完全不同，许多中国学生被训练回去与我们竞争，有些人甚至被招募或胁迫成为中国国家的代理人。大学应该反思他们收取的学费与他们提供的教育质量之间的关系，以及他们是否坚持美国自由言论和学术自由的原则。

Shownotes Transcript

How are the nation’s most elite universities navigating the Trump administration? Harvard was recently been informed by the Trump administration that the school has violated federal civil rights law over how it treats Jewish and Israeli students. Allegations of civil rights violations are just the latest troubles for the Ivy Leagues, as Columbia University received a formal warning for their conduct back in May. President Emeritus of Purdue University and former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels joins to explain navigating Trump administration criticism, legal action, and frozen federal grants.

The Supreme Court has finished its term, and the final rulings were all wins for the Trump administration on a variety of issues, such as abortion funding, parental rights in schools, and limiting the power of federal judges. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson criticized these outcomes, arguing that the 6-3 conservative majority holds too much power. Former federal prosecutor Jim Trusty joins to discuss the latest Supreme Court decisions.

Plus, commentary from FOX News contributor and host of The Jason In The House podcast, Jason Chaffetz.
