Breitbart: NYTimes Board Offers Migration Fix: 'Illegal Bad, Legal Good'

The American Mind: Tools for Conservative Education Reformers
Conservatives seeking higher education reform have struggled to enact meaningful changes, focusing on free speech and diversity initiatives. However, opportunities for reform exist, particularly through program reviews that assess the viability of academic programs. Recent reviews at various universities, including the University of Wyoming, have led to significant budget cuts and program eliminations.
To enhance accountability and align educational offerings with state missions, state legislatures should guide higher education funding and program viability. By prioritizing programs that align with educational goals over those based on ideological grounds, universities can restore public confidence and address budgetary concerns effectively.
