Highly suggest reading the document[1] if you are interested. The overarching problem is it moves management decisions from the colleges to the White House. But here are a couple of really problematic points: - mandates government price setting - requires institutions to promise to use force against minors when faced with unknown hypotheticals - requires universities to monitor & censor staff and faculty - requires government oversight of classroom grading, in the total absence of government standards - bathroom fetish likely in conflict with state laws - White House oversight of which academic programs are allowed, and the budgets attached to each. White House does not specify whether programs currently in flight will be allowed to continue through the school year, or whether students in those programs will need to leave immediately. - White House decides what criteria can be used for admission - White House decides which "institutional units" are allowed to function - To enforce a parts of the Compact would effectively require the White House to install commissars at the institution to e.g. monitor speech and communications to ensure they are acceptable. This alone should be disqualifying. - Many discretionary decisions like the above are made at the White House without any binding written guidance Basically, an independent university would only agree to this if it would have to close otherwise. The Compact is not conservative because it centralizes decisions best made lower down; it aims to radically reshape higher education; it mandates prices; it promulgates ideology, and more. Conservatives should also reject this Compact. 1 - https://www.washingtonpost.com/documents/22e45e59-75ac-4a81-b1c1-a0ca9753375c.pdf?itid=lk_inline_manual_4 https://www.washingtonpost.com/documents/22e45e59-75ac-4a81-...
