Harvard says FU to Trump

Good on them for not bending the knee and getting bullied into doing something inherently wrong.

Good for Harvard.

trump's goal is to dumb-down educational institutions to make everyone smart as maggots.

Good to see Harvard has standards.
 
Harvard is merely the Simpson College of the east coast.

Or so I’ve been told.

WAY TO GO HARVARD

And these spineless other universities need to rethink their decisions. Now to be fair Harvard has a $50 billion endowment. So if any school can stand up to the authoritarian shenanigans of the GOP its Harvard.
 
Please tell me that Harvard takes federal money so the government has some say in what they do and how they do it.
Harvard likely does take federal money for research. But toeing the line has been proven to not protect a University from the axe so there is no point in even bothering to listen to him. Also, Harvard has an endowment in the tens of billions. To the point that they don't even have to charge tuition anymore. So Harvard can survive.

That said, how many Trump administration or MAGA leaders (the ones actually doing the planning, not the clowns he puts in public position to take the hits from the people) have a degree from Harvard? I think they need to be looking internally into what is being taught in many of their classes because the Ivy League has a significant role in what is happening right now.

Not what I’m getting at. I’ve already heard several republicans say, “ then don’t take the money” if you do t want to answer to the government. But conveniently don’t believe that when private schools get public money.
 
Harvard can make it's decisions as it sees fit.



There are alot of people in academia that would make 10 bucks in the real world.
No. Not actual academics. Intelligence wise, in any meaningful measure, they're way above average. At the very least 99 percent of them would earn well above median wage in some white college endeavor.

You do realize that for 400+ years (actually since the founding of Harvard go figure) the federal government has rarely interfered with institutions of higher education and only funds these institutions through research. The states are supposed to control its institutions not the federal government.

Trumps attack of higher education, academic freedom and intellectualism is unprecedented. Innovation and research has thrived be means of freedom from political interference.
 
To get this straight. The rapist can play hardball with Harvard but can only roll over for China?

Roll over for China? The D's are the ones who appear to be in lockstep with China.

You have to wonder if China invades Taiwan, which side will the D's be on.
 
If Harvard wants to double down, that's $2.3 billion in additional federal spending cuts.

Harvard's endowment is $50 billion+. They can work off from that for a while.

Just shut the funding off,.. These elite colleges don't need or deserve federal funding,... period.
Not only does federal funding need to be pulled, but their endowments need to be heavily taxed to help pay the interest on the student loan crisis the same universities helped to create. They need to pay their fair share!
