Yay Harvard

Harvard growing a spine? Well that's a first...

There we go. Some resistance. Finally. Thank you.

Do not comply in advance! Stay tough!

We're at the mercy of a mad king

As they should.

Hooray for Harvard showing how it’s done. Aren’t you ashamed Columbia?

Not public universities either, you dingleberry

🛑 This has never been the case and will never be. 📌 It is an illusion that the content of the curriculum does not depend on the political system, and therefore on the government. 😡 Trump mercilessly interfered in the peaceful life of universities. ‼️ Where were the universities before the elections?

Bravo, Harvard! A spine is a beautiful thing.

Fight fiercely, Harvard. In the best way.

Oh wow, Harvard found its spine just in time for a PR win. Brave move from the folks who charge $80K a year to teach moral superiority. Quick question tho would they still ‘resist’ if federal money actually got cut? Or do principles expire at the bank?

Bravo, Harvard!

Good to see that Harvard standing up for their rights. Is time for private donors that believe in the school too step up.

Inspiring … I hope!

Enfin ! Resistance to absolutism at last 🙏

They can as long as we allow them to do so

good! i'm sick of these extremely powerful institutions with brilliant minds and BILLIONS in endowments acting like they're helpless babies

The Times could learn from Harvard's example. So could half a dozen large law firms...

Great, however, the Harvard community should roll up their sleeves and be out in the streets protesting with the others.

Vey interesting. Those who caved in for the pro-Hamas camp would have caved in for Trump too.

"No" can be the most powerful word in the English language, if you've got the courage to say it. We need more institutions and people saying "No" to the demands of the Republican Party in general and the Trump Administration in particular. Enough is enough.

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Trump so free speech. 🙄

Thank you Harvard! 👏👏👏

Oh look. A spine !

Rule #1 - Harvard standing up to bullies Rule #2 - Remember rule #1

Also true for *public* universities

Harvard can probably and rightfully avoid harsh treatment from the Trump administration for its stance in opposition to the President. The rest of us probably cannot.

Well, public universities, too. Unless maybe if it's a federal university ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s a nice thought but we all know your major donors decide what’s taught. Aka Koch’s

President Garber has too much in common with President Trump. He ,and his immediate predecessors set the stage for this fiasco by setting aside not just the First Amendment, but Harvard's foundational Charter of 1650, and curtailing the participation of its alumni in its governance.

Wow. Good for Harvard!

Ironically, notable former Yale Prof. Snyder wrote the famous book On Tyranny, but it’s looking like Yale’s preparing to obey in advance, which is quite depressing as a Yalie, but also cuz so many of our alumni’ve done so much harm—Vance, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Alito, Ramaswamy—we must redeem ourselves.

i'm not going to hip hip hooray for telling a fascist no. it should be common sense. shame on you @columbiauniversity.bsky.social

This is the way So say we all Make it so

Bravo Harvard! It's about time one of our prestigious universities developed a little spine! Shame on those other learning institutions that have laid down and surrendered to Shitler!

About time. Essential and welcome nevertheless.

Thank you Harvard, for moving back into a leadership role.

We stand with you, Harvard. Reminder: next Hands Off protest is April 19th. Find the one closest to you. Be there.

Better late than never.

More of this please….

Harvards stepping up and shaming Columbia. When the histories of this period of America are written they'll be covered in glory and not shame.

Bravo!!!!

Wharton should be interesting

For decades, if not longer, Harvard’s integrity will be lauded. Those who bent a knee will offer excuses.

Bravo Harvard!

Hey @columbiauniversity.bsky.social You should try following Harvard's lead and grow some F'ing balls.

Time for other U's under threat to stand up too.

www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

are they asking Liberty University to hire more liberal professors?

only Zionists get to do that, not the feds!!!!! - Harvard University

What are those of us with little to no power supposed to do, how are we supposed to feel, when the most powerful, wealthy, and influential organizations in our country are allowing themselves to be shaken down by a wanna be dictator who is a convicted felon and a rapist? Good job, Harvard. 🚫meta.

This coming from a man that ran a fraudulent corrupt university and was forced to shut it down , like everything else he owned

👍🏼👍🏼

At least 1 University has a spine. Now we need to have it spread to other universities

I had a feeling they would do the right thing. I love you, Harvard!

They have to stand together or they will be targeted one by one

More of this please👆🏼

Harvard standing on Business; as well as their Excellent rapport! You will not be a D-student trying to bully a rocket scientist! 🤦🏾‍♀️

Private universities should not be eligible to receive public funds.

Finally

Well done, Harvard - finally an institution with a shred of integrity ✊

Finally! Somebody got it right!

He'll retreat and declare victory and then move on to the next distraction. Harvard knows how this moron works.

Columbia should learn something from this

Harvard President Gerber's response is clear and defiant. This moment demands moral clarity. Every institution must show the same courage. Harvard has drawn a line - and others should follow.

You know it’s gotten bad when Harvard - not 1969 UC Berkeley, but 2025 Harvard - is going “oooh that’s a bit too conservative for us.”

Hail to Harvard! I haven’t felt joy like this for a while.👏🏻🇺🇸✨

Harvard shows more courage than these high-level law firms taking a knee. I applaud them for being courageous and fighting against these authoritarian measures. Be like Harvard!

Harvard to Prez: “F*** you!!!”

Thank God!!

Bravo, Harvard!

Finally someone with some fucking balls

☠ It is encouraging to see Harvard communities fighting back against the the Tyrannical republikan regime of the turd reich. There is hope !

Let me just say, SCOTUS didn't URGE this admin to return that man. They told him these actions are illegal, and he MUST return him. Attention to detail matters. What had happened to this institution of journalistic integrity? Controlled by the oligarchy, as well? Way to go HARVARD.

If you trade human rights for profits, someday you will have neither.

Universities are the last bastions of free speech. Without free speech, America will lose her voice and identity. Her people will be rendered ineffective and tethered.

A real newspaper would say that also applies to all newspapers but you’re no longer a real newspaper are you. Just a propaganda rag.

Paybacks a bitch, Ivy Leagues. Hopefully they actually make free speech and merit based decisions going forward regardless.

CBS stated that Harvard got $686m from the federal govt. in 2024. They do stand to lose something in this battle against the 🍊 Reign of Terror. I'm really hoping they will continue to retain their leadership position among universities for intellectual freedom. 🤞🏼✊🏼🦋

Truly, Amen. Stand firm against this corrupt, lawless, dangerous Authoritarian Administration.

Hell yes, this is how you do it.

Finally! A university with a backbone

They got billions in endowments. They can outlast the orange turd.

Their 380-year-old brand is about to be obliterated as a finishing school for Trump chucklefucks. A bridge too far it seems. bsky.app/profile/josh...

Yup

They didnt comply with any laws when they gave Jeffrey Epstein an office and a fake title to help him with his blackmail and spying operations.

Trump is a terrible person. How can he live with himself knowing he sent an innoncent man to El Salvador and won’t release him? We have to stop him.

Everyone should buy a Harvard tee shirt.❤️

It's now or never Americans! If you don't stand up and fight against this regime, it's gonna be a very, very long time before we can bounce back, if ever. And no, I'm not being dramatic.

Finally! Someone willing to stand up to this insanity.

You have $2.2 Billion

Harvard is by itself an institution of wisdom.

I stand with you!!

DEI is a meritorious study, not a policy or group of policies as people, some racist, all poorly informed, have made it out to be. Hope you only fall into the latter category. Best wishes.

I had to sit thru a DEI lecture at work once, I found it completely insulting. The assumption was everyone in the audience needed to rid themselves of their racist and bigoted ways. In no way was I a racist or bigot.

Not everyone uses these terms the same way.

Bravo and well done, Harvard. America is worth defending.

Caving in to demands of an illiterate idiot does not exactly benefit a reputation as „elite“ university

Hey @columbiauniversity.bsky.social, take note and do better

Good for Harvard!!! If only otherAmerican Private/Public Universities and Colleges would have the interests of students and faculties in mind and fortitude to not capitulate to an Authoritarian/Theocratic Government and its dictator.

Makes me sad I didn’t go to Harvard. Makes me sad I didn’t apply. Makes me sad that had I applied I wouldn’t have gotten in.

Well done, Harvard. A patriotic university standing up for American democracy.

They are wealthy and have access to alternative finance. Smaller universities do not have this luxury

In essence, Harvard will comply with the US Constitution. Trump/Republican party will NOT!

They have a 53 billion dollar endowment, I thought Lefty's believed in paying their fair share the colleges don't even pay taxes, you don't care it's just because it's anti-trump , either way America is finding out where their tax dollars are going and they ain't liking it

Its about time, anyone else?

Finally, a university with a damn backbone

Yep

Go Harvard, on your side!

All universities must follow this lead

Good to see Harvard push back on the attack on academic freedom by this administration. Now is the time for universities to join forces and support each other, as well as other pilars of free and democratie societies and the international rule based order such as independent media and courts.

Hey @columbiauniversity.bsky.social feeling stupid yet?

If the first amendment fails, there's always the second.

Finally

Take a lesson from Harvard!

Thank you.🌞🌴

Hold up, Garber, you need a cart to carry those heavy balls.
