The us government, using the appropriate mechanism like passing laws etc, can change the policies like they see fit.
However I don't understand how it's possible to single out a specific university.
Are there precedents for this kind of behaviour?
- lobsterthief 1y agoNo; it’s illegal but he controls the justice department and is attempting to silence the courts. He’s singling them out because they refused to bend the knee. This is not okay. And it is not normal.
- cosmicgadget 1y agoIt's called a bill of attainder and it's prohibited by the Constitution. Courts have said this also applies to executive orders though it's not as crystal clear. He's already done this to the Associated Press for ignoring his stupid Gulf of Mexico rename as well as to several law firms for representing democrats.
- hdhxgsc 1y agoBill of attainder is a legislative action. Doesn’t apply to the executive branch.
- NewJazz 1y agoThe commenter literally stated that it has been applied to executive orders by courts
- mbs159 1y ago> it's prohibited by the Constitution Even if it is illegal, does not mean that anybody will actually do anything about it beside challenging the administration in court and giving them a slap on the wrist at best.
- nitwit005 1y agoYou seem to be assuming they're following the law. The Trump admin hasn't exactly been winning in court.
