A Republican Iowa lawmaker plans to introduce what he calls the “suck it up, buttercup bill” to cut budgets at public universities that spend extra money on students upset about the presidential election. Rep. Bobby Kaufmann tells the Des Moines Register that the bill targets schools using taxpayer dollars to fund election-related sit-ins and grief counseling above what is normally available to students. Iowa’s public four-year universities say no such money has been spent.
