The administration does not engage the public to validate the need for changing policy. Where citizens may be engaged about changes to policy the points made are mute because the administration already wrote he rules and will not implement them. The rules this administration writes is in violation of the rule of law. It is time for the criminality be exposed so citizens can see it for themselves.
Trump's administration changes policy that was legislated without engaging Congress with information that proves the changes are necessary. This administration is so corrupt it conducts itself outside the law. Citizens can carry good reasons to interrupt and stop changes in policy but their input is never taken seriously. Public comment periods for this administration is a formality with little leverage to the plans it has for the wealth that belongs to Americans and their quality of life.
Hegseth is assaulting the ROTC offered in colleges. While there is nothing wrong in beginning programs in good colleges and universities it is completely wrong to end these programs in places like Harvard, Brown, Cornell, and other major universities. These universities participate in preparing leaders for our military. They receive excellent credentials along with their ROTC status. There is just no justification for what is occurring with funding and policy with this administration.
Cornell University: The only Ivy League institution that hosts on-campus detachments for all three military branches (Army, Navy/Marine Corps, and Air Force).
University of Pennsylvania: Hosts an on-campus Naval ROTC program and coordinates Army and Air Force ROTC through neighboring institutions like Drexel University and St. Joseph's University.
Princeton University: Sponsors an on-campus Army ROTC unit, while Air Force and Naval ROTC are offered through a cross-enrollment agreement with Rutgers University.
Dartmouth College: Sponsors an on-campus Army ROTC program.
Harvard University: Offers Army, Navy, and Air Force ROTC options via cross-enrollment agreements hosted primarily at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Harvard is being eliminated in sponsoring ROTC when it is hosted at MIT. That is simply insane.
Columbia University: Provides access to Army, Navy, and Air Force ROTC through cross-enrollment with institutions like Fordham University and Manhattan College.
Yale University: Hosts Air Force and Naval ROTC on campus, while participating Army ROTC students travel to the University of Connecticut.
Brown University: Offers Army ROTC through Providence College, Naval ROTC through the College of the Holy Cross, and Air Force ROTC through Worcester Polytechnic Institute
ROTC programs in some of the finest universities in the country provide for a better prepared and effective military.
The bad judgement of this administration and it's bizarre policies need the attention of the courts because there is no dealing with them otherwise.
...In the lawsuit, (click here) Attorney General Nessel and the coalition argue that this is the latest front in a multi-year campaign of failed attempts by the administration to terminate, withdraw, or place conditions on funding that supports programs Congress has chosen to fund, but with which the President disagrees. Impoundment — the administration’s refusal to spend funds Congress has lawfully appropriated for particular purposes — violates the separation of powers, the Appropriations Clause, and the Presentment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The coalition further argues that the impoundment of funds is unlawful agency action in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act....
