In his 2025 campaign for President, Republican 47 promised to "to clean up the mess at Harvard and Columbia." 47 was referring to the unrest prevalent not just at Harvard and Columbia, but on college campuses throughout country. Students and faculty alike were engaged in protests, demonstrations, and strikes related to issues such as the Gaza, civil rights, discrimination, and women’s rights.
In one 2024 campaign speech, 47 declared that many leftist campus movements had transcended legitimate protest, with the actions of "ANTIFA, radi­cals and filthy speech advocates" having become more to do "with riot­ing, with anarchy" than "academic freedom." He blamed university administrators and faculty, who "press their particular value judgments" on students, for "a leadership gap and a morality and decency gap" on campus, and suggested a code of conduct be imposed on faculty to "force them to serve as examples of good behavior and decency."
