Fearing retribution from a president known to retaliate against his enemies, most leaders in higher education responded in February with silence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But after weeks of witnessing the administration freeze billions in federal funding, demand changes to policies and begin investigations, a broad coalition of university leaders publicly opposing those moves is taking root. The most visible evidence yet was a statement last week signed by more than 400 campus leaders opposing what they saw as the administration\u2019s assault on academia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Although organizations of colleges and administrators regularly conduct meetings on a wide range of issues, the statement by the American Association of Colleges and Universities was an unusual show of unity considering the wide cross-section of interests it included: Ivy League institutions and community colleges, public flagship schools and Jesuit universities, regional schools and historically Black colleges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe speak with one voice against the unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering American higher education,\u201d the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aacu.org\/newsroom\/a-call-for-constructive-engagement\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">statement<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Although it contained no concrete action, and what\u2019s next was unclear, the collective stance reflected a group more galvanized than ever to resist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhen we are teaming up with higher ed across the board, it\u2019s more than just about what the elite think,\u201d Richard K. Lyons, chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley, said in an interview after the school signed on. \u201cAt some level, that really disparate, wide-angle, wonderful group of colleges and universities that signed the message, I find quite heartening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Another signatory, Brian Sandoval, president of the University of Nevada, Reno and a former Republican governor of the state, said he was not viewing the statement through a political lens. \u201cI\u2019m concerned about what we\u2019ve seen and what we\u2019re experiencing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The joint statement from university leaders, many of them energized by Harvard\u2019s confrontation with the Trump administration, emerged even after higher education associations and a handful of universities filed lawsuits fighting cuts to funding from the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/us\/trump-administration-lawsuits.html\" title=\"\">National Institutes of Health<\/a> and the Energy Department. And heads of colleges had been talking and meeting with one another more frequently than they had since the Covid-19 pandemic, with some engaged in discussions in Washington.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Association of American Universities, an exclusive trade group that counts the nation\u2019s most powerful schools among its 71 members, is meeting there this week, its first gathering since President Trump\u2019s inauguration. The meeting is not open to the public, but it could end up as a strategy session about how to address the administration\u2019s moves, including its investigations of campus antisemitism, diversity programs and admissions practices and its attempts to control what is taught in classrooms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Those actions stem from the administration\u2019s <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/14\/us\/politics\/trump-pressure-universities.html?searchResultPosition=5\" title=\"\">desire<\/a> to punish institutions it says have inadequately addressed antisemitism and indoctrinated students with liberal viewpoints.<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Boards of major education groups have been speaking more frequently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cA day doesn\u2019t go by that there\u2019s not an email that goes out,\u201d said Mr. Sandoval, a member of the board of the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of communication.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">One president of a private university, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss strategy, said on Wednesday that he and other university leaders were on Capitol Hill a lot more than they used to be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When asked whether additional lawsuits will be filed against the Trump administration, which next week will pass its 100th day, several university presidents contacted by The New York Times declined to make predictions or referred to secret contingency plans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The group statement grew out of discussions among presidents and other academic leaders, and an urgent concern among many of them that leaders were not speaking out against the White House, said Lynn C. Pasquerella, who heads the group that wrote the statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe decided to see whether there was a will for collective action,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Pasquerella, a former president of Mount Holyoke College, added that many leaders were getting pressure from their campuses to say something.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The organization convened two virtual listening sessions, attended by 193 college and university leaders, to gauge the group\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The statement that was agreed on is far from radical, focusing on opposition to \u201cundue government intrusion in the lives of those who learn, live and work on our campuses,\u201d but it was significant in that it represented an unusually broad consensus among the disparate members.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At first, the statement had only 100 signatures. Support grew as university leaders sensed strength in numbers, Dr. Pasquerella said, adding that one university president signed and then asked to be removed after receiving pushback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While most of the signers are from blue states, some represent red state colleges, such as Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss., the University of the South in Sewanee, Tenn., and Talladega College in Alabama.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many other red-state presidents have not joined the effort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI saw absolutely no upside \u2014 none,\u201d said the leader of a private university in a Republican-led state who also asked to remain anonymous about the private discussions and has, even previously as a faculty member, been skeptical of petition drives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The official, skeptical that one additional signature would prove decisive, added, \u201cI don\u2019t think a petition is going to change the mind of the president, his administration or anybody in Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And the official sensed a potential downside: angering the White House.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That fear is real for many schools, said Wesleyan University\u2019s president, Michael S. Roth, who also signed the statement. He has been a vocal critic of the administration\u2019s actions affecting universities and recently participated in a \u201cHands Off\u201d protest near the school\u2019s campus in Middletown, Conn. He said he was not surprised that some universities had turned down the opportunity to sign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis administration is very ready to exact retribution on its foes,\u201d Dr. Roth said. \u201cI asked a lot of people to sign, and many people said: \u2018I can\u2019t sign. I\u2019m afraid.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/27\/us\/trump-university-presidents.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trump administration\u2019s swift initial rollout of orders seeking more control over universities left schools thunderstruck.
