The Trump "compact" would require colleges that agree to commit to freezing tuition for 5 years. Freezes or caps are often proposed as a solution to college affordability. đ§” Why is this a misguided solution that might actually lead to lower- and middle-income students and families paying *more*?

Media outlets said no to Hegseth's anti-freedom, anti-truth policy. Universities are saying no to Trump's anti-freedom, anti-truth "compact." Solidarity is the only way to weaken the Trump attacks on freedom, truth, justice, and democracy.

Hmm. What's up with the added comma? That's not in the law. Are they making integrity an afterthought? Is this the first step toward droping integrity completely? This is very concerning.

The Trump-Musk "Fork in the Road" buyout, like many Trump or Musk things, is a scam. The fine print says if you take it, you may get reassigned, have less work, or be put on leave, but you aren't guaranteed anything. You're only guaranteed to lose your job. Don't be fooled.
