Why are they taking public money with a $4.57B endowment?
Take a stand Penn State, you really can afford it.
And they're taking public money to fund graduate research. This is how we've developed a number of scientific breakthroughs as well as how we train fledgling scientists.

"University Things" are how the US came to dominate the world. Stifling them is insane.

I’m sending my thoughts and prayers to you to help with your existential fight against fascism.
