This is how federal funding to universities works

The vast majority of federal dollars that flow to colleges and universities arrives in the form of student loans and grants to cover the cost of attendance. That money, which is dispensed through what’s known as the Title IV program, does come with conditions that schools must meet, mainly involving the quality of the education.

To remain in the program, schools, for instance, can’t have scores of students defaulting on their loans year after year. Or, in the case of career colleges, they can’t lie about the number of students landing jobs after graduation. Trampling on First Amendment rights, as Trump has accused Berkeley of doing, are not grounds to be kicked out of the program.

2. All his threats are be empty

He can't remove all federal funds from sanctuary cities, and he can't punish universities at which protests occur with yanking their federal funding. There are laws, and legal precedents regarding those laws.

It's either bluster ... or the end of democracy as we know it. I pray it's not the latter.
