  The Trump administration should halt its destructive attack on higher education—and establish a constructive dialogue.

The article from Fortune, published on April 8, 2025, discusses the increasing politicization of higher education in the United States. It highlights how colleges and universities are becoming battlegrounds for political ideologies, with conservative and liberal groups clashing over issues such as curriculum content, free speech, and campus policies. The piece notes a rise in state-level interventions, with some legislatures attempting to influence what is taught in classrooms, particularly in subjects like history and social sciences. Additionally, the article points out the growing trend of donor influence, where significant financial contributions are used to sway educational institutions towards specific political viewpoints. The overall impact, according to the article, is a potential erosion of academic freedom and a challenge to the traditional role of universities as neutral grounds for learning and intellectual exploration.
