No, lies are bad, stop spreading them.
There was a whole list [0] of unhinged demands. In particular Trump demanded government control over "viewpoint diversity", meaning some MAGA determination of which teachers get hired/fired and which students are admitted/rejected, based on unspecified arbitrary ideological tests.
Inserting a Political Commissar into the university is a really big fucking deal, especially if you don't want to abolish the First Amendment. Why would anyone want American colleges to become like the ones back in Soviet Russia?
(Plus various smaller evils, like mandatory suspension of any student for wearing a face-mask.)
> violate federal law
If so, explain to us why the hell Trump isn't doing the normal thing and suing/prosecuting them in an actual court of law with a judge while pointing to a specific law and providing evidence. He's got the staff, they know how to do it.
Instead, this is like a cop pulling you over and saying "You were speeding, the fine is... all the cash in your wallet, right now." No! That's not how it works! Stop defending the criminal cop!
