Aren’t the Trump demands “New boss, same as the old boss”? Trump wants a narrow discussion of social issues on university campuses. If anti-Semitism is the problem, shouldn’t the university point out what it is doing to correct the flaw? Withholding funds for scientific research is idiotic. It is as nonsensical as the chainsaw Musk is taking to government.

Edit to add:

If we worry about elite universities because of failure to respond to anti-Semitism, should we be concerned that Trump wants to appoint a man who praised an anti-Semite as United States Attorney General for D.C.

I assume Eisgruber played a big part in the dismissal of Joshua Katz when Katz criticized the anti-racism policies of Princeton. Eisgruber's story was that Katz was dismissed due to having a relationship with a student or something related to that.

It is less the way that university administrators behave in response to one particular incident as much as the sense that the graduates of these schools have a sense of general meaninglessness and are the beneficiaries of "privilege laundering" which is Musa al-Gharbi's phrase
