Let’s hope other institutions rally around this and band together with Harvard. I’m 100% on board with feigning awe for the rest of my life when someone mentions they went to Harvard now if this rally’s higher ed

"The US Department of Education froze $2.3 billion in federal funding for Harvard University, just hours after the school rejected President Donald Trump's demands that it make deep policy changes" I don't think blackmail should be called policy changes Reuters. Let's call a spade a spade shall we?

No one should worry about Harvard's losing $2B. Harvard's endowment was valued at $53.2 billion at the end of its fiscal year in June 2024. This makes it the largest university endowment in the world.

Havard will kiss Trump's ass' just making white noise. They want trust fund babies. Where would the grants go to? poor whites, or poor blacks? DEI is dead and replace by Jimmy Crow baby. So that leaves blacks, natives, Woke ppl, Asians, Jews out. Remember Jews were not allow to work Law, CPA firms.

It is worrying time when government try to dictate what should be teach and who can receive education. Education shall be for all, to gain ability to learn from the past and shape and participate to a better future. For our free world away from totalitarianism and dictatorship.

In all the Mr Big criminal movies. When the henchman does the job and comes back for his reward, it is always BAD. Donny would have still cut funding while closing the Dept. of Education, even if Harvard got on their knees like MAGA. Harvard did the Smart Thing.

Harvard made the right call. Better to wait until Trump is out of the picture—things will go back to semi normal. Meanwhile, Democrats should thoroughly investigate and hold accountable every GOP member who tried to strong-arm a university and other forms of corruption.

It's about time... they'll survive. Colleges need to stop voluntarily capitulating. Perhaps join a coalition with other colleges to share the legal expenses. They'll all make out in the end.
