minus-square@AbsarokalinkEnglish12•2 days agoGenerally that power is financial. The government can’t directly tell private institutions like NYU what to do. But they can, and do, take away or withhold government funds for grants and research. Buuuut … all that is held up right now. And if Trump has his way, that’s all gone regardless. So I’m guessing this is a classic case of making decisions by the university based on old thinking.

minus-square@MutilationWavelink1•edit-21 day agoThank you for not saying FASFA. I’m a grammar and spelling square in my soul, but this is one of the mistakes that absolutely drives me up the wall. Teachers, students, university staff; I’ve heard them all say it this way.
