The U.S. Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, issued a statement regarding an agreement between the Trump Administration and Brown University. The deal addresses several issues related to campus policies and student protections.
According to McMahon, the agreement will ensure that students at Brown University are evaluated based on their merits rather than factors such as race or sex. She stated, “The Trump Administration is successfully reversing the decades-long woke-capture of our nation’s higher education institutions. Because of the Trump Administration’s resolution agreement with Brown University, aspiring students will be judged solely on their merits, not their race or sex. Brown has committed to proactive measures to protect Jewish students and combat Antisemitism on campus. Women’s sports and intimate facilities will be protected for women and Title IX will be enforced as it was intended.”
McMahon emphasized that these changes aim to restore higher education institutions as places focused on truth-seeking, academic merit, and civil debate. She added, “Restoring our nation’s higher education institutions to places dedicated to truth-seeking, academic merit, and civil debate—where all students can learn free from discrimination and harassment—will be a lasting legacy of the Trump administration, one that will benefit students and American society for generations to come.”
No further details about the specific terms of the agreement were provided in the statement.
