In what way does this or anything else Trump has done or indicated to do advance the state of education towards the goals of the reform you are talking about?


I also don't think I claimed that "Trump has done or indicated to do advance the state of education". His administration has addressed grievances that I agree with but they have not introduced the positive reforms that I would support.


Fair enough, but this did read that way to me:

> why I am very sad that we could not achieve reform without resorting to measures such as threatening the international student admission process


Oh I see - did you reply to the correct comment initially?

So far Trump's administration has seemed to address perceived grievances that they have with the university administration. In the comment you replied to I outlined some positive reforms that I would personally like to see as someone who cares deeply about education and wants to see a successful system. Trump's administration hasn't and probably won't make progress in this direction. In other words they are saying "don't do X" and aren't saying "Do Y". I approve of their progress on the former and think they are unlikely to make progress on the latter.
