This marks phase two in the Trump administration’s war on higher education, following last spring’s assaults against individual institutions, including Penn. If successful, the compact will rob universities of their remaining autonomy and cripple our country’s preeminence in teaching and research. Penn President Larry Jameson should not sign the compact.
