“… ASU officials have no problem being alone or in a group working with the administration; they believe this would position ASU to help redesign what they see as a flawed system—and capture as much support and money from the federal government as possible, people familiar with the matter said.

“There’s always opportunity,” Crow said in an interview. “And there’s opportunity now.”

In recent months, ASU has communicated with the White House on a new financial-aid idea, offered to help vet international students and scrambled to calm Trump officials in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s killing.

Crow’s efforts have won praise at the top levels of the Trump administration. “I’m incredibly impressed with a lot of the work he’s done,” said Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, whom Crow has hosted on campus. “I think he’s a really smart guy.”

Crow’s critics argue university presidents must defy Trump and build strong alliances or risk their independence. “Safeguarding the well-being of one institution at the expense of the future of higher education writ large doesn’t work,” said Todd Wolfson, president of the American Association of University Professors. “I don’t think anyone who makes that call will be covered in glory when we look back at this moment in 20 years.”…”
 
My dear (93 y/o) mother the guidance counselor at the local community college from it’s inception after Drumph was elected in 2016 and I asked what do you think said that everyone was complaining about the cost of education and now they can find out what ignorance costs?”
I found this similar “Gemini” info with a quick AI search:

The cost of ignorance is immeasurable, encompassing missed opportunities, financial mistakes, legal consequences, and harm to reputation
. It can be seen as the difference between where you are and where you want to be, as knowledge and informed decisions are the tools for personal and professional growth. While education requires an upfront investment, ignorance carries a permanent and often higher price through potential loss and stagnation.

So apparently AI agrees with mom’s point!

Related, I recently worked in both Falls Church and San Antonio and PEC has been shut down entirely. The attitude is that lots of drugs are available and DOD employees should get by on those and don't need new drugs, regardless of the bid grid. Not a single new drug has been added to BCF since January. Criminals.

So much of Trumpism is about pure selfishness and total lack of empathy - "As long as me and my family are doing well I don't give a shit about you or your family. And I ain't willing to spend money or taxpayer funds to help you in any way." And that's the bottom line.
