University of Arizona declines to sign onto Trump administration 'compact' [View all]
Source: Reuters
The University of Arizona on Monday cited academic freedom as it became the seventh elite college to decline to sign onto a Trump administration proposal that offered nine of them preferential consideration for federal funding in exchange for agreeing to a set of policies.
Vanderbilt University and the University of Texas at Austin have yet to announce whether they will sign the proposal, for which the administration gave a Monday deadline.
The proposal has been rejected by Brown University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of Southern California, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Virginia, and Dartmouth College.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
