Trump Targets Colleges Again With Sweeping Funding Agreement

from WSJ What’s News · host The Wall Street Journal

A.M. Edition for Oct. 2. The Trump administration has invited nine initial schools to join a ‘compact’ banning use of race or sex in admissions, freezing tuition, capping international enrollment and more. Plus, the U.S. will for the first time provide Ukraine with intelligence for missile strikes deep inside Russia. WSJ correspondent Bojan Pancevski says it's part of a major shift in strategy from both the U.S. and Europe, as efforts to ensure a peaceful ending to the war in Ukraine have all but failed. And, why tech bosses say they can’t find the right workers despite a sea of tech talent. Caitlin McCabe hosts. Sign up for the WSJ’s free What’s News newsletter.
