Eisgruber also discussed an August letter from U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon entitled “A National Call to Action to University Presidents and Governing Boards.”
The letter calls on every postsecondary institution to answer questions around ensuring merit-based admissions, protection against “unruly and violent protestors,” and protection from foreign influences, among other topics, before Dec. 31. Eisgruber outlined key principles that guide the University’s responses to such requests, including the protection of academic freedom and institutional autonomy. “I would anticipate we will answer, but we will answer in a way that is consistent with what we’ve said on these important topics previously,” he said.
