On one hand, making colleges be more transparent about foreign funding seems like common sense—people deserve to know where money is coming from. Focusing on meritocracy is also good, but only if it doesn't ignore the needs of students who might need extra support. That said, threatening to cut federal funding feels pretty heavy-handed and could hurt students more than it helps. I’m also a bit wary of so much power being used through executive orders; big changes like this probably need more discussion and input from Congress and the public. Overall, I’d like to see a more balanced approach that actually brings people together on education reform, instead of just stirring up more division.
