Rowe called for a ‘giant reset button’ with how America views trades workers
As the Trump administration continues to threaten Harvard with the prospective removal of billions in federal grants, Mike Rowe, best known as the host of the popular series “Dirty Jobs,” has a bold plan for how that money could catapult America’s trade workforce.
“If I had to choose between, should Harvard get $3 billion, or should trade schools, in that world… Obviously, the trade schools. But I think that there’s a bigger issue, honestly,” Rowe revealed during an appearance on Tuesday’s “The Bottom Line.”
The Trump administration has been warring with the elite institution over alleged failures to adequately address antisemitism and made additional threats amid a foreign student records dispute.
