College with a $12B endowment folds over $30M in funding. Absolutely laughable ROI vs alumni backlash and decrease to future donations.

Today?? Way to read the room, Ivy.

Cowards.

It’s shocking how many are caving.

But I am sure that trump will stick to the spirit of the agreement, like in the...hold on, getting a note. To shreds you say? Well surely in some of the....I see. And he stops when they.... To shreds you say?

My husband’s alma mater is UVA. He’s very unhappy they reached a deal with Trump.

Embarrassing. Plus a really poor read of the room. Trump's arrow is pointing way, way down at this stage. Harvard understood the dynamics. Will play out just like the law firm saga. Some will look weak and unreliable, others courageous with an eye on the long term

cowards.

Yes. I made the same decision with regard to Columbia. I truly do not understand why these once-great institutions are caving to the nonsensical demands of a petty tyrant. Appeasement never works, and often has disastrous consequences.

I will cry if mine (Harvard) ever capitulates. I feel like the pushback/threat to pull state funds from Newsom here in CA provides some good counter incentives for UCs (especially my son’s alma mater UCLA which seems to be getting the worst threats) not to fold.

Would we feel better if it only applied to the Aggies?

If the next Democratic presidential candidate doesn't promise to refund these extorted funds, I hope every university sues to recover what has effectively been stolen from them. I'm not sure how well that would work, but I want them to do SOMETHING.

Copying the Leonard Law would always be a good move.

It's a branch campus of Trump University now.

Yep bsky.app/profile/msbi...

The provision of admissions data puts its students at risk. That’s the worst part.

Sorry to hear they folded. 🤦‍♂️

Condolences on your loss.

They have to conduct research the government wants.

Whole campus just jumped into the gorge.

Goddammit, thats disappointing. BSME '96

For sure. So terribly lame, a great university, teaching all the wrong lessons.
