*WHY ARE TAX PAYERS SENDING MONEY TO PRIVATE COLLEGES?*

[RV-proq]

No public money for universities that charge $70k for my kid to go to the college. This is ridiculous. If they are getting tax money then why is the fees this high ? WHY IS A PRIVATE UNIVERSITY GETTING TAXPAYER MONEY ?

[bambicrandi]

WHY ARE WE GIVING ANY PRIVATE INSTITUTION FEDERAL FUNDING?

[kirkholmes]

I maintain that these schools with massive endowments should not be getting government funding for anything!

[donaldleider]

Don’t give them any money, they’re a very wealthy private university!

[janemaroni]

They should not get a penny of tax payers $$$ regardless of change

[SandyDavis-mgso]

I don't want any of my taxes going to any universities

[texaspatriot]

Ban not only masks but head towls as well.

[tommyhooks]

There isn't a student on Colombia's Campus, that can't be recognized, by their PARENT ! I have grand children in college, that play sports. NONE of the college campuses we visit are having this kind of behavior ! The administrators of Colombia should be FIRED !

[josephsforza]

So all this bullshit is about money. All those students who were harmed should sue the hell out of them.

[scottsimmons]

And this begs the question. Why is Columbia U (an Ivy League university) receiving 400 million annually from the Fed?

[DenisejohnNailEd]

They shouldn’t get a damn cent !
The government shouldn’t have to tell them how to act. They should know better.

[sundager]

Yeah, don’t you think it’s time for this juvenile idiotic behavior to stop

[heatherhall]

Thank you, Mr. President!! So sick of these woke universities. No way I'd want my kids to go there. Let them support themselves.

[judyhalsell]

Isn’t it just amazing what defunding can do.

[minkopf]

Why such an expensive private university getting tax payers money anyways? I could never afforded to go there but my tax from a hand to mouth paycheck go to these entitled foreigners? God bless trump

[MrRiverfeverwa]

Prof Jeff Cowen should also be fired. What a tool.

[mikekelly]

Do Not give them taxpayers money ever. That school is BS.

[sp]

They should not have needed any incentive, we'll see how much they comply.

[SandraAdcock]

It shouldn't take thise threats to secure a campus. Many of those doing those things need to be deported immediately
