Universities reject White House plan – what's behind their refusal?

This refusal reveals deeper worries about the government's approach.
The White House is facing many rejections. This signals a potential problem for their education agenda. Aggressive tactics from the White House are complicating matters.
Dartmouth College is one of the universities that refused. UVa stated, "We are not a dog," in their rejection. These rejections show a strong pushback against the proposed compact.
The exact reasons for each university's decision vary. However, the overall sentiment points to concerns about the terms or the process.
