Newsom Threatens to Withhold State Funding
California Gov. Gavin Newsom warned state universities that signing the Trump administration's education agreement would put them in direct conflict with his administration.
The Trump administration's "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education" proposal offers universities terms that include a commitment to stop racial discrimination in admissions and raising tuition rates for the next five years in exchange for special access to federal funding.
The compact states that the universities are not required to sign the document, but would lose federal grants if they didn't.
- MIT is the first university to refuse the demands.
