A new analysis details a coordinated strategy by conservative actors to reshape campus governance, curriculum and academic standards by treating students as consumers and pressuring faculty and administrators. The playbook urges changes to grading expectations, governance rules and administrative oversight intended to shift campus power toward trustees and outside political actors. The piece catalogs tactics that include targeted litigation, board campaigns, and legislative pressure to alter tenure and hiring practices. It names specific mechanisms that have emerged in recent state policy fights and campus controversies. University leaders, faculty governance bodies and legal counsel should consider the tactics' operational implications for academic freedom, shared governance and compliance with accreditation standards.
