The Trump administration has offered a preferential federal funding plan to US colleges, which was initially rejected by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The plan would grant colleges increased funding in exchange for committing to specific policy changes, such as banning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The offer has been extended to all US colleges, according to a person familiar with the matter. The plan aims to push for policy changes that align with the Trump administration's agenda, despite MIT's initial rejection of the proposal. The article highlights the ongoing tensions between the federal government and academic institutions, as the administration seeks to influence the policies and practices of higher education institutions through the use of funding as a leverage.
