Linda McMahon urges colleges to align with Trump administration to maintain federal funding

Education Secretary Linda McMahon has called on U.S. colleges and universities to align with the Trump administration’s policies to maintain federal funding, particularly for research. Her comments come amid a dispute with Harvard University over Title VI compliance. Critics, including the American Association of University Professors, argue that this stance undermines academic freedom. As investigations into other institutions continue, concerns grow over the future of academic research and government influence on higher education.
