Different reasons for different sets of institutions. Publics in republican-led states often don't have support from their board or the AG so getting into a legal battle is tough. Privates with $500 million for bribes to the admin are mockeries of education and should be shunned.
Yes. It's the latter that are really depressing me. I can understand Indiana's situation more easily, even if I'm not happy about it.
Some have decided not to try and fight in court, even though they could win, because the feds are retaliatory and could do things like block future grants, refuse to send them their money when a court orders them to, cut off faid. But... they can pay this money and the feds can still do all that.
Yes, indeed. But what's maddening is none of this is normal or right and we freaking need to fight it!
