YES. NEXT QUESTION? Trump cuts Columbia’s grants over handling of student protests: Should he include universities that violated academic freedom? “Stripping even a handful of institutions of large numbers of federal grants will wake up administrators. They do not yet understand that their conduct is precisely the reason why public trust is in the toilet. A stronger message is needed. I offer this suggestion only because I believe that in the long run, universities would be better off if they foster and encourage debate, and allow faculty to hold a range of ideas. And because I worry that if they don’t do that, they will increasingly become irrelevant.”

Grab ’em by the budgets and their hearts and minds will follow.
