‘The real point of the Administration’s moves is not to combat antisemitism, racism, or sexism, or even to promote free inquiry and the diversity of political viewpoints—all of which universities should be doing as part of their avowed missions. The goal is rather to bring the university, as a representative of major institutions of civil society, to its knees. In the narrow sense, Trump is attacking perceived centers of left monopoly power, in an extreme gambit to “own the libs.” In the broader sense, the moves are part of an attack on institutions, including the legal profession, nonprofit organizations, and the press, that play essential roles in a democratic society. And, in a development that has been decades in the making, civil-rights laws have been reduced to cudgels for coercing universities into subservience.’
