Professor Soucek Writes for S.F. Chronicle About the Hidden Danger of Government 'Compact' For Higher Ed

In a San Francisco Chronicle op-ed, Professor Brian Soucek writes that the Trump administration's "compact" for higher education has a dangerous provision that is easy to miss. Soucek argues in his Oct. 15 piece that the call for "institutional neutrality at all levels" poses a grave threat to the mission of universities. Read full op-ed.
