UVA signed an agreement with the Trump admin today, agreeing to provide admissions and hiring data on diversity through 2028 to settle several outstanding civil rights investigations. It's the fourth college, and the first public, to reach a deal. https://t.co/7ozgrl8PLa

Read @AidaAlami on the last Columbia protester in ICE detention. A judge recommended her release in June: “No convincing evidence linking her to terrorist activity had been brought up. In response, the government contended that she posed a flight risk” https://t.co/Oz3xExuF9p

NEW: The White House invited three previously unreported schools -- The University of Kansas, Washington University St. Louis and Arizona State University -- to discuss its compact for preferential funding at a meeting with administration officials, a source tells me Story TK

The University of Southern California declined the Trump administrations preferential college funding compact, hours after Penn did the same. USC is the fourth of nine formally invited schools to reject the White House’s deal.

Breaking: UPenn declined Trump's preferential funding compact this afternoon, becoming the third of nine formally invited schools to do so, after MIT and Brown.

I reported on Monday that the White House expanded its offer to all colleges after MIT's rebuff. Brown's decision is yet another setback; other colleges, like UVA, Dartmouth and Penn, have signaled they're unlikely to accept the current compact. https://t.co/vtFRM9UKJ7

Breaking: Brown rejected the Trump admin's compact for preferential federal funding today. They're the second of the initial 9 invited colleges to decline, after MIT.

SCOOP: the Trump administration is inviting all universities to participate in his compact for preferential federal funding. The move comes 2 weeks after floating the deal to 9 schools seen as friendly, and days after MIT became the first to reject it. https://t.co/vtFRM9UKJ7

The Trump administration proposed that universities meet certain demands for priority federal funding. MIT President Sally Kornbluth said the school already exceeds those standards. @liamhknox discusses with @ScarletFu on "Bloomberg Markets" https://t.co/vgMqmNOV6u

MIT rebuffs the White House's invitation to sign a compact for preferential federal treatment in exchange for sweeping reforms. They're the first of the nine colleges who received the compact to do so. https://t.co/EUVNieRSN8

Columbia is adapting to life after its Trump deal. As a monitor begins work and the anniversary of Oct 7 threatens new scrutiny, campus is abnormally quiet this fall. One professor said it "feels like a security state" A dispatch from Morningside Heights

Trump expounded that Education Secretary Linda McMahon is finishing up the deal, which he said will involve Harvard paying $500M to set up/support trade schools--terms we previously reported. Harvard has not responded to requests for comment yet.

Trump's $100,000 H-1B fee hit tech companies hard. But large research universities also leverage the visa for research labs and medical schools. The fee could be extremely costly for those colleges--or shut them out of the global talent market entirely. https://t.co/0TcpR6Su40

As colleges grapple with the White House over billions in frozen funds, trade schools seem poised to benefit to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. I wrote about how Ivy League deals could give vocational programs a cash infusion:

Northwestern president Michael Schill resigned today amid ongoing talks with the Trump administration to restore $790 million in federal research funding. Schill came under Republican scrutiny last year for giving concessions to student protesters. https://t.co/cic2rzlvzP

Columbia welcomed its largest freshman class ever this fall, 20% larger than last year, after boosting admits over worries about campus tumult and student visa troubles. The school took nearly 400 students off its waitlist, far more than recent years. https://t.co/imXamRr8IW

UCLA wants a diplomatic end to the Trump administration's funding freeze. But they face a unique challenge: Gov. Gavin Newsom's anti-Trump crusade. UC leaders are working to insulate negotiations from their politically ambitious governor's brash rhetoric: https://t.co/xaefSd5eRV
