And one of those things, he argued, was to take a prize scalp. A prize scalp. A prize scalp. And that's a quote unquote. And he said that institution would be Columbia University. that the administration should go after Columbia as hard as it can. If Columbia did not comply, it should remove its Title IV funds.

If Columbia did comply, then they should find another way, or they could find another way to remove funding from the institution. And so when one of the first institutions to receive a big hit on their funding, $400 million from Columbia, the first thing that came to my mind was, oh, this is a part of the playbook that they talked about in December.

Yeah, well, over the last, you know, year and a half, really since October 7th, when students started protesting the war in Gaza, Columbia has become the sort of poster child for the ways that higher education is doing things wrong, right?

Out of control. You know, the student protesters are controlling the institution. The leadership doesn't really have a wrangle on its faculty. There were criticisms of the curriculum. All of these things. And Columbia, right, and most Ivy League institutions aren't necessarily places where people are going to jump to defend them, right? These are places that have... multibillion-dollar endowments.

When people say that they don't trust higher education, they don't mean their local community college. They don't mean the public regional down the road. They mean Harvard and Columbia because it seems like an unattainable place where the elites are developed anyway. And so... Over the last two years, really, you've seen these attacks on Columbia and how they've handled anti-Semitism on campus.

Or you've seen attacks on Columbia and what they're teaching to students. And the imperfect plaintiff nature of Columbia makes it easier to say, well— Everyone has said you're not handling this well, so let's go ahead and remove your funding. And it would be one thing if they sort of stopped at Columbia.

It would be one thing if they came into office, did a long investigation into what's going on, because that's typically what happens, right? As someone who's covered the education department for the last, you know, seven, eight years, anytime you have a Title VI investigation in cases of discrimination, those typically take months, if not years, to complete.
