In March, I emailed over 3000 administrators at @BrownUniversity asking what their job entails @ElonMusk style, to understand why tuition was rising to $93,000. Brown tried to discipline me, but I won. Then, @Jim_Jordan invited me to testify and defend the American Dream.

What’s up with @BrownUniversity and committing antitrust violations to inflate tuition?! 🤦♂️. Obviously 90k a year isn’t the result of competitive market forces…

This is awesome.
When a public high school foundation in California took a whopping 25% cut of student club funds, seniors Liam Tian & Kevin Wang DOGE’d them. Their principal blasted them in a school-wide email. Now an audit confirms fraud, waste & abuse. Absolute legends.

Geez, who would have thought layoffs to your bloated staff would be necessary when you charge students 90k and still run a multimillion dollar budget deficit?. Looks like I was right all along 🤷♂️.

So the feds gave @BrownUniversity their allowance back… only a matter of time until they squander it on 17 more assistant deans of DEI. This is the part in the movie where the villain thinks they’ve won. But I’ve got a big update coming soon.

#BREAKING: @Jim_Jordan & @RepFitzgerald subpoena Brown and Penn. The Chairmen seek documents and communications related to Ivy League member institutions collectively raising tuition prices.

Well well well… @BrownUniversity’s president acknowledges Brown’s bloat is unsustainable and teases changes to “staff levels.”. Translation: They’re about to fire a bunch of their 3805 administrators. 👀. Now who suggested this first…?🤔 Stay tuned.

Thank you Congressman Jordan for fighting for free speech and administrative accountability at @BrownUniversity!. Next step: Ask Brown’s president, Christina Paxson, to explain why student tuition dollars pays for her household assistant. #SubpeonaChristina.

NBC's Tom Llamas questions whether sending 3,800 requests for comment is journalism. Yes, Tom, sending a request for comment is journalism.
