Here are the colleges rejecting Trump's funding compact [View all]

Multiple colleges are rejecting a compact the Trump administration sent to nine universities at the beginning of October that guaranteed funding advantages if the institutions agreed to certain policy changes.

The 10-point memo, titled the “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education,” gave a variety of sweeping demands from changes in hiring to admissions, altering campus culture and shrinking foreign student enrollment.

So far, at least seven universities — the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Southern California, the University of Virginia, Dartmouth College and the University of Arizona — have rejected the compact, which says schools must revise “government structures” in the institutions that stifle free speech and crack down on vandalism and disruptions to free speech activities.

Vanderbilt University showed reservations about the compact but said it had provided feedback by an Oct. 20 deadline without officially rejecting or accepting it.
