So pleased to see @NicholasKentEd tapped by @potus to serve as the next undersecretary at @usedgov! A great pick to clean up higher education.

Paging @jaypgreene!!
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60%+ that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.

Finally, "admin would be justified in permanently revoking the student visas of foreign nationals who participated in protests supporting terror organizations...If universities refuse to provide the names of such students, their funding should be cut."
