    they specifically called out “CAL GRANTS”, which are student aid. It’s not direct funding, but helping students pay for college.

    I’m sure there are tons of research and other programs that directly benefit the state, and are supported by the state

        Maybe but students already make decisions based on what financial aid they get. The colleges would either have to make it up or lose students.

        Realistically I doubt he expects to do it. The goals are

        1. Get under MAGAs skin by turning their own extortion strategies against them
        2. Give the schools plausible deniability to hold to their principles
