President Trump takes aim at one of his favourite targets — Ivy League universities
For Donald Trump’s administration, there are a few more inviting targets than America’s universities.
Ivy League institutions, including Harvard, Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania, have lost federal funds and been subject to more direct government control.
The administration claims it is trying to combat campus domination by the ideological left.
Philosophy professor YUVAL AVNUR of Scripps College, and two colleagues, Stephanie Muravchik and Jon Shields, were especially worried about these attacks and began to investigate the allegations of bias in university and college courses.
They published part of their results in the online journal, Persuasion.
