Brown Joins MIT in Rejecting Trump’s College Compact Invite

Brown University has joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in rejecting an invitation from the White House to sign a "college compact." This agreement would have provided preferential funding for universities in exchange for implementing certain policy changes, such as banning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and limiting the enrollment of international students. The decision by Brown University and MIT reflects a growing resistance among higher education institutions to the Trump administration's efforts to impose ideological restrictions on campus activities. Critics argue that these proposed policy changes would undermine academic freedom and limit the diversity that is essential for fostering a rich learning environment. The rejection of the White House's invitation highlights the ongoing tensions between the federal government and universities over the role of politics in higher education. As this debate continues, universities are asserting their autonomy and commitment to maintaining inclusive and intellectually vibrant campuses.
