Education Secretary McMahon and Heritage Foundation Launch Renewed Campaign to Reshape Higher Education

Education Secretary Linda McMahon has issued an open letter to college and university presidents, while the Heritage Foundation has released a model bill, both aiming to revive and codify the Trump administration's 'Compact For Academic Excellence.' These initiatives propose significant changes to admissions, curriculum, and campus policies, including mandating the Classic Learning Test, prohibiting DEI offices, and requiring institutional neutrality, with potential implications for state funding and institutional autonomy.
