The Trump administration's attacks on elite universities, such as Columbia, have raised concerns about the future of higher education. The administration has canceled federal grants to Columbia and warned 60 other universities of potential cuts. The megadonor class, who have made significant contributions to universities, have been largely silent on the issue. The goal of the current White House to dismantle higher education has elicited alarm, but the grievances of wealthy Ivy League Democratic donors align with the administration's agenda.
