Governor Newsom: No state funding for sell-out universities

SACRAMENTO — Governor Gavin Newsom today issued the following statement in response to the White House's proposed "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education," which ties access to federal funding to radical conservative ideological restrictions on colleges and universities:

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY. CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

Governor Gavin Newsom

According to news reports, President Donald Trump's so-called proposed "compact" is nothing short of a hostile takeover of America's universities. It would impose strict government-mandated definitions of academic terms, erase diversity, and rip control away from campus leaders to install government-mandated conservative ideology in its place. It even dictates how schools must spend their own endowments. Any institution that resists could be hit with crushing fines or stripped of federal research funding.
