Earlier, we told you about The Hill throwing a hissy fit over red states returning public universities to their missions and the will of the red state voters who fund those institutions.
One of the biggest players in that shift was, and is, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who took a victory lap over The Hill's panic:
Universities that are established by the state and funded by taxpayers should be accountable to the people.

It may seem like a “hostile takeover” to those who feel entitled to use universities to advance a leftist agenda; if anything, the “hostile takeover” occured when higher education veered away from its core mission.

Reform is the correct solution.
All of this is correct.
This. It's a bad sign when neutrality is considered a "hostile takeover" by those used to being in control. https://t.co/7GGyS4TcZo
