    If a university wants federal money, it has to follow certain rules for that money.

    You’re just describing a grant. This goes well beyond the rules surrounding grant applications. Kidnapping students off of campus and shipping them to black sites in defiance of court orders is entirely outside the scope of securing university research grant funding.

      I work at a university that is also part of a state system with their own rules (also driven by federal regulations).

      You’re conflating the government coming on campus and exerting the power of the law with universities having to comply with said laws. And yes, universities will comply because they have no choice.

        Is that what they’re doing? Quite a few judges seem to believe differently
