Update. The American Association of Colleges & Universities (#AACU, @aacu) just issued a statement on #Trump's “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education”.

"College and university presidents cannot bargain with the essential freedom of colleges and universities to determine, on academic grounds, whom to admit and what is taught, how, and by whom. They cannot trade academic freedom for federal funding—and should not be asked to do so."
