At points it’s hyper-specific and at others it’s purposefully fuzzy. One of the most radical potential interpretations is that it re-classifies college student adults as children and gives parents a lot of control over what they learn, but that stuff is intentionally vague.

18/End My summary: - Make college less affordable - Make it easier to discriminate - Make it easier fraudulent universities to rip off students - Allow the President to put ideological tests that target individual institutions or whole states for funding cuts. Fun!

16/ An executive order to "protect the first amendment" that would direct (and prohibit) federal funds going to institutions that don't meet whatever Trump's free speech standards are. This would all the admin to target specific institutions and zero out research funding and access to financial aid!

15/ At least 40% of existing or any ongoing area studies funding should go to programs that promote "free market" values - so an ideological test.

14/ Wind down funding for area studies and foreign languages - programs that have received federal support since the Cold War - on the grounds that these programs are no long sufficiently jingoistic.

12/ Here is a BIG one ... basically get rid of accreditation or any academic standard for access to IV funds (federal student aid), and have financial and administrative capacity as the primary qualifier for access to aid! This opens the door to rip-off schools. This is the TRUMP UNIVERSITY plan.

11/ Language that would forbid public institution teachers from using students' names an pronouns if they differ from their birth certificates but it is not 100% clear if that would apply only to schools or also higher ed. I would normally say just schools but the FIRPA stuff makes it a ?

10/ I want to add something about student loans - impede here is not just that the loans would be privatized, like under the Bush admin, but also that lending decisions, that is who is eligible for a student loan, would be up to banks. This is a big deal.

9/ Suspend data collection on student outcomes or at least suspend the use of data on student outcomes for accountability and evaluation purposes. Mostly this is a bad faith move to protect for-profit and other predatory campuses.

8/ Eliminate desperate impact as standing for enforcement and remedy under title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Meaning that a "colorblind" educational policy that disproprtionaly and adversely effected (or benefited) on more racal groups would be permitted. This is a license to discriminate.

7/ Eliminate negotiated rule making for provisions of the Higher Education Act. This takes higher education institutions, student advocates, and academic labor voices out of the conversation when setting HEA based regulations.

6/ Gut civil rights enforcement in education. Special attention is given to eliminating the rights of trans* and nonbinary students. Wearing guidance on handling sexual assault on campus. Making lawsuits initiated by individuals or the DOJ the only the primary vehicle for enforcing civil rights.

5/ Treat students loans explicitly as an opportunity to make money for the "taxpayer," privatize the loan system, and roll back nearly all loan forgiveness programs. Basically treat student loans not as financial aid but as an income stream for the banks and government.

4/ Send NCES to Census in the Commerce Department and and possibly eliminate IES (so no more federal funding for education research). Unclear if IPEDS or other surveys would be retained.

2/n Amend FIRPA to make it much easier for parents to access college students educational records and personal information, and require that education institutions get the consent of parents (even for those over 18?) to conduct surveys that ask students about mental health, sex, and political views.

My British wife, a Labour supporter, went to bed downcast late last night. The WAY Labour got its big win is worrisome and is a reminder that nowhere in the Euro-American countries is safe from fascism.

Hot Take: Rishi Sunak did the UK a great service by calling an election at the exact time trad conservatives and the far right had a split, potentially extending British democracy for some time.

Yeah. It will be interesting to see if Conservatives and Reform settle into two parties than can only hope for a collation government someday or if the big biz faction goes fully fascist - bring trad conservative voters into authoritarian camp like the GOP.

It just doesn't matter how well qualified a black woman is, there's always someone (or many) who are certain, despite all evidence to the contrary, that she's unqualified. And yes, this repeatedly happens in "liberal" spaces.
