Excerpt:
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom continued his feud against President Donald Trump by threatening the universities who complied with a request from the federal government.
The president issued a 10-point memo titled the “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” to nine universities and said any that agreed would receive preferential treatment for grants and other federal money.
‘California will not bankroll schools that sign away academic freedom.’
Newsom, who has presidential ambitions and has positioned California as a leading state to oppose Trump’s policies, issued a threat to universities that agreed to the compact.
“California universities that bend to the will of Donald Trump and sign this insane ‘compact’ will lose billions in state funding — IMMEDIATELY,” he wrote on social media Thursday.
“California will not bankroll schools that sign away academic freedom,” he added.
