Eight-point-seven billion.
Four-hundred million.
One-hundred-seventy-five million.
These are just some examples of the money the federal government has withheld or is threatening to withhold from various colleges and universities, including the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University and Harvard University.
That $8.7 billion figure was announced earlier this week by the Trump administration, which said that it's reviewing federal grants and contracts awarded to Harvard because Harvard has not done enough to curb antisemitism on campus.
Some educators say the administration's moves to cut funding at colleges and universities amounts to a war on higher education. But the loss of those funds will be felt far beyond the college campuses.

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Strategy to Trump China on the World Stage
“ China is ascendant and we are static.”
President Donald Trump is right to be worried about China’s trade surplus, military expansion, influence in regions like Panama and the Arctic, and the broader global impact of its rise. Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the reasons why Trump has made maintaining dominance over China a central issue for his administration on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“He’s worried that China is intimidating countries in the Pacific and in Asia. Some of our strongest friends—Australia, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam. Saying things like, "The United States is in decline. You better cut a deal.
“ We don’t look at productivity in stocks but whether they’re politically correct or DEI and woke… The Chinese love it. We will not be competitive.”
