Yes, encourage higher costs and debt for students without return on investment. Tone deaf to today’s student debt crisis.

Our colleges and universities must educate, not indoctrinate. We have brought accountability to our higher education system, fought the woke, and returned the focus to the classic mission of universities. Republicans in the Florida House are trying to roll back this progress, give a lifeline to the political left, and pave the way for the re-wokification of Florida's higher education system. HB 1321 should be nicknamed the "Make Universities Woke Again" Act because it would remove the accountability that is required to prevent our colleges and universities from reverting to a focus on indoctrination.

After 30 years of disinvestment in higher education, the cost to attend our colleges and universities has skyrocketed. We needed to do better. That’s why Pennsylvania’s Secretary of Education and his team went to work — and presented a blueprint to make higher education more affordable and accessible for all Pennsylvanians. And after Democrats and Republicans came together, we invested more in our HBCUs, community colleges, and Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education institutions — all while investing more money in new scholarships to help bring down the cost of higher education.

Qatar has poured roughly $6.6 billion into American universities, making it the largest foreign funder of U.S. higher education. The Gulf nation is known for backing Muslim Brotherhood-linked networks and Islamist influence operations abroad. But the reach goes far beyond universities. Qatar-funded programs have supported elementary school initiatives, teacher training, and nationwide education networks in the U.S. One program alone reached over 1 million students. Some materials questioned Israel’s right to exist and used maps with Israel erased completely.
