…and he's got other "ideas":
To scare universities straight, [Education Sectetary] McMahon should start by taking a prize scalp. She should simply destroy Columbia University.
Columbia was, perhaps, the worst offender in indulging the pro-Hamas campus radicals. The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights should initiate a compliance review of every single decision Columbia made. To do that, OCR would need the identities of every single foreign student who supported the protests, actions the Trump administration could deem material support of a terrorist organization. Border czar Tom Homan could then revoke every single one of the foreign protesting students’ visas.
If Columbia doesn’t cooperate, McMahon could cut off its research grant funding.
If they do cooperate, she’ll surely find the evidence necessary to cut off its Title IV funding. That would mean that Columbia would become ineligible to receive federal research grants and subsidized student loans, which would jeopardize nearly half of its revenue….
And while the Trump administration is looking into Columbia, the Justice Department should thoroughly explore indicting former Columbia President Lee Bollinger for fraud if he, through commission or omission, played a role in Columbia’s submission of inaccurate data to US News and World Report. Bollinger submitted the data to boost Columbia’s rank in the report. Once the true data were reported, Colubmia’s rank fell from second to 18th.
College presidents regard Bollinger as perhaps the greatest college leader of the 21st century. He should be regarded as the worst. Perhaps the college presidents could learn a valuable lesson from the sight of him in an orange jumpsuit.
The second target should be the University of California, Los Angeles….
The Education Department’s Office of Civil Rights could do a compliance review seeking an answer to one simple question: If a mob of white supremacists took over the quad, called for the lynching of black students, and physically barred black students from walking freely, would Chancellor Michael Drake have directed his lawyers to insist that this was fine and he had no duty to stop it?…
That shouldn’t be all for UCLA, though. As the Washington Free Beacon has documented, UCLA prioritizes race over merit in medical school admissions. This could literally cost untold lives. Allowing UCLA to continue to govern admissions to its medical school is a public health hazard. It should no longer be permitted to make its own admissions decisions….
This brings us to the Supreme Court’s Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard decision banning affirmative action, which Trump has promised to implement to the hilt. The first step should be forcing Harvard University to comply. Right after the decision was issued, Harvard all but publicly vowed to do everything in its power to violate the spirit of the Supreme Court’s ruling and the 14th Amendment on which it was based.
McMahon should initiate a never-ending compliance review to ensure that Harvard follows the law. She should assign Office of Civil Rights employees to the Harvard admissions office and direct the university to hold no admissions meeting without their physical presence. The Office of Civil Rights should be copied on every email correspondence, and Harvard should be forced to provide a written rationale for every admissions decision to ensure nondiscrimination.
If OCR finds a shred of evidence of racial discrimination, Harvard should lose its Title IV funds. If Harvard wants this monitoring to end, it can voluntarily agree to relinquish all discretion over its admissions process. It can select students by a weighted lottery based on standardized test scores and grade point averages. After all, Harvard swore that if it couldn’t discriminate based on race, the “diversity” of its class would plummet. It didn’t. Either Harvard misled the Supreme Court or it’s violating the law. Either way, it has lost the privilege of picking its own students.
On the plus side, he didn't propose that any university leaders be murdered.
