“Harvard now faces one of the most consequential choices in its history: Submit to extortion and make itself complicit in the most profound assault on academic freedom and constitutional governance of our time—or go to court. The stakes are high, but the choice should not be difficult.” (Fixed link)

Do the right thing Harvard!
Denial is bipartisan
Study global warming at https://EcoShock.org
But I’ll take it.
(Apologies to Tom Lehrer.)
I’d like to see a coalition of Universities fight back together.
MEET him there. Bring your best female students. Your best students of color. You have Veterans and active duty, Bring them
Everyone he despises. And meet Citizen Trump in court
If you dont want that sort of influence, don't take the money. Universities sold out a long long time ago.
For profit education sucks.
The small institutions, used to getting by on beans could be better qualified for this era.
We need to sit Cambridge down with a friendly six pack and explain to you that we need the intellectuals to do their work whether it costs the their jobs or not - and in turn the poors who already just get by will share those survival skills with the intellectuals.
1) it enabled the sinister career of Henry Kissinger;
2) the Kennedy School's post-defeat rehab spots for egregiously corrupt Canadian politicians;
3) it caved to Elise Stefanik's attack on its President, Claudine Gay
Where have its New England morals gone?
The truth may be hard for some.

Some of that money (as much as it takes) should be used now to resist, forestall, and defeat (outlast) the ill-conceived, short-term idiocy of Trump, his uppers, and his puppeteers.

Or, academics are secondary considerations.
one of the very few to have an endowment that can afford to fight off the Federal Government. But their BoG? That’s another story.
Appeasement never works.
Stand up for what is right and what you believe.
It is never wrong to do the right thing.
There are some things that are worth dying for.
Fight.
Never surrender.
The smart thing to do would be for all these universities to band together to withstand this, but they don't. It's extremely American to only watch out for yourself.
Now, if you cave to Herr Trump, don't you DARE say you're doing it for us Jews.
The hell you are.
I have the feeling you actually aren’t au courant with the issues? But I’m sure you mean well.
Fight, win or be reborn. Never give up!
Do the right thing, if you even know what it is any more.

Harvard has the most in Congress, with 76.
This school producing crap leaders!
That is surprising to hear this admission. I guess that might explain how so many conservative people get into the law school.
It should lead from the front to return the USA to democracy.
