On Thursday, students and faculty across California and other states protested against what they see as the Trump administration's threats to higher education. Major demonstrations took place at universities including Stanford and UC Berkeley, where former Labor Secretary Robert Reich emphasized the broader implications of academic freedom. The protests were a response to several executive orders from the administration aimed at tightening control over universities, including funding cuts and investigations into campus policies. The coordinated action underscores the significance of preserving academic independence in American society.
It goes to the core meaning of freedom in this country... if the Trump regime can dictate to any university the terms on which its faculty... will function, then there are no limits to what that regime will do.
The Trump administration has unveiled several executive orders and policies targeting higher education, ranging from revoking international student visas to cutting research funding.
