Who would’ve guessed that the man that slashed multiple university programs because he didn’t feel they had value for the job market supports Trump’s ideology towards higher education?
How much government is too much government? For many of us, the answer to that question depends on who’s in charge. @SenAlexander brings up some great points about the risk of federal overreach in higher education.
Many of the goals the Trump administration wishes to achieve in higher education are ones I agree with. But we cannot have an approach to these things that compromises research integrity. It’s a dilemma, but the way out of it is clear: higher education should hold itself to standards that exceed those of any administration.

These results suggest that getting a PhD causally worsens mental health, or at least receiving psychiatric medicines. The reversal post PhD degree is particularly convincing.

Trump is proposing to cut 93% of the budget for the Appalachian Regional Commission. Because Trump and JD Vance really care about Appalachian people and communities, and they definitely aren't just cynical opportunists playing people for suckers and then openly betraying them.

Hunger games 2025. You’re elderly out in a holler in WV. You have limited transportation. The only grocery store left near you is a Dollar General 40 minutes away. You’ve just been told you can’t purchase most of the food there now. Find the healthy food. Go!

In Wyoming County, West Virginia, families are running out of clean water and food. The local pantry is running out of supplies. Look at this water.
