coming up on this episode of The Roundtable.

I really think this is about an attitude change on the state legislative level.

It's about instead of thinking, okay, here's what we've been appropriating to universities.

For years, it's why should we be appropriating money to universities that are in violation of the

Constitution, in violation of federal law, and have all of these pernicious

effects and have lost the trust of the American people. No, you, university, reform yourself,

come back to me with data showing me that what I'm funding is worthwhile. I really do think

that, like, this is a necessary attitude change. And it's going to, it is happening on the federal

level. It would be good if it is happening on the federal level.

It would be good if it was happening on the state level too, because like I said,

once they, you know, have federal funding threatened,

they're going to come hat in hand to the state legislators.

That's where they're going to go because they need that money to operate.

Yeah. He had that money to operate. Welcome everyone once again to the roundtable, although this is a special series of the Roundtable,

which we're calling the Cincinnati series, which will run for just a few weeks here.

And we wanted it to be a bit of a guide for state legislators and what they can do to reform higher education policy around their states. It's something that

my guests know a lot about, so I'll introduce them. We have Scott Yenner, my colleague at the

Center for the American Way of Life in Washington, D.C. Although Scott is a roving higher ed reform

maestro. He's our senior director of state coalitions where he's worked with

Florida and Texas and many other states and many more to come on what they ought to do about

the problem of higher education and its increasing ideological and anti-American character in

recent decades. We're also joined by Annette Stepman, who's the senior policy analyst or a senior policy and legal analyst at the Independent Women's Forum.
