U.S. Department of Education Urges Universities to Reaffirm Commitment to Public Service and Implement Reforms

The U.S. Department of Education has issued a letter to university presidents and governing boards, calling for public commitments to reforms in areas such as fair admissions, open discourse, intellectual pluralism, and affordability. This initiative, seen as a 'Compact 2.0,' follows previous attempts to link federal funding to institutional reforms.
