Bienen has just announced the agreement with the Trump administration to restore Northwestern's funding. He is also already misrepresenting it. For example, the FAQ he provides tries to minimize what the university has conceded regarding transgender care.

It's cynical for me to say this, but Northwestern bringing back an octogenarian whose name is already plastered all over campus with the implicit ask to be the dude who signs the Big Capitulation to the current administration in exchange for a bag of magic beans seems like it was the plan all along.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
