the billionaire "Christian" conservatives that own him, and create Hillsdale College South. Comes move-in ready, with prime waterfront property and compliant supermajority state legislature to make all their power-hungry dreams come true.

replace with their own ideology. Domination and destruction is important to them.

Full of brilliant and creative and exceptional student and teachers, a high academic rating and genius grants way out of proportion to its size.

Now squalor and ruin and hate run rampant where love and joy lived.

It is a heartbreak on heartbreak.

The question is whether they can perform this operation at scale in the large state univerisities and then, through the funding mechanisms of the federal government, in the private universities.

Universities are at an inflection point, as they face the dreaded "demographic cliff" (there will be 10-15% fewer students for all universities based on lower birthrates 2008-2020). That means universities will become more dependent on loans and federal monies just as the Trumpies get their hands on the spigot. Expect massive changes in higher education of the next four years, as the MAGAs use their funding power to force their agenda on universities.

There will be no resisting it, especially with the current composition of the faculty/ professoriate. If a mid-size school relies on $65-120 million in loan approavals and other funds from the federal government, and a Stephen Miller direct report is in chanrge of those funds, the school will have to do what is requested, or shut down. Faculty will gripe but fold, since there are no other jobs to jump to. Administrators will hold listening sessions where they hear the faculty gripe endlessly and perform some kind of "resistance," and in the end they will sign the agreement with the feds, take the money, and shut down the programs they are being asked to shut down, and fire the faculty they are being asked to fire.

This will all happen over the next 2-3 years.

While they cut Tenured faculty. I spoke with a distinguished Anthropology professor who holds tenure at a prominent State University branch, she says even midlevel administrators make double her salary. It was already getting worse 86-90 when I went during the Reagan-Bush years.
