You mean to tell me banning affinity group graduations, handing over school records to the DHS gestapo, cracking down on protests, and dismantling DEI didn't appease this fascist dictator?! I'm shocked I tell you. /s

We're witnessing rape culture made into government policy. If one doesn't fight back like their life is dependent on it, the rapist will keep going and escalating
I'm rooting for Harvard. Their law school should be able to go after this criminal administration and win. I thought it was illegal for POTUS to revoke tax exempt status?
I just can't believe these 'bastions' of knowledge and power folder Ed like rice paper to this man when anyone who's watched Trump for the past decade knows he's a vendictive narcissist who will fuck you over regardless of your actions.
Harvard will now die because they pissed off everyone.
As an expat from academia, it's overflowing with weak-willed administrators whose only job is trying to convince everyone they're necessary. Not the type of people you need for this moment (or any moment, really).
We literally saw this with Columbia and yet Harvard leadership seems inclined to learn this lesson the hard way. There is no appeasing fascists. There is only fighting back.
The really horrifying thing is that maybe they aren’t “appeasing” but just returning to their baseline racism and misogyny. It’s not like they have a history of being a bastion of liberalism.
Maybe I’m being too cynical though. Feeling a bit radicalized lately.
It's more about appeasing the oligarch donors who are almost entirely white men with fragile egos who can't stand to see their place in society challenged. Seeing a diverse campus sends them into a frothing rage.
no you’re absolutely right. the USA only became tolerant and inclusive because the left still had enough power to twist its arm into doing so, lest there be a communist uprising on US soil
Is after PBS too. A great deal of his base lives a rural America and listens to NPR and if they have TV, they watch PBS.
They’re also looking at Wikipedia’s tax exempt status. Wikipedia is banned or seriously censored in some of the worst countries in the world.
How many law grads has Harvard funneled to far right groups like Heritage? At some point you have to wonder if "resistance" is nothing more than PR moves.
I’m concerned that a great number of privileged people are incapable of learning anything other than “more ways to serve my own interests while maintaining my counterfactual ideologies”.
Graduating these frauds alone should let people know how serious a college Harvard has become. It’s all smoke and mirrors this “elite” Ivy League narrative they’ve built. Just gross and once again a piggish way to keep others down.
Pres. Obama went to Columbia and Harvard. Michelle Obama went to Princeton and Harvard. Pete Buttigieg went to Harvard. It's not all bad. And those are only the elite schools.
It’ll never be enough. Ever! That’s why no institution, business, person, etc., should give in. No matter what they do to kiss the ring, it’ll never be enough.
Your employer bias is showing. Harvard is the only higher education institute pushing back yet you constantly attack them. They will follow the law but fight illegal requests. 80 faculty members just committed to donating a percentage of their salary to the cause. Spend more time promoting this.
They are not the only schools pushing back, there seems to be something about Harvard that is special to 47 bringing extra attention. Perhaps endowment size since?
So far be it from me to jump in for harvard a multi-billion dollar elite college with entrenched roots in the status quo and corridors of power
but het donald you start fucking with everyone and anyone there's no way your still standing when they all fight back
probably worth noting that it seems very unlikely Trump will actually succeed at doing this, i think Harvard’s capitulation was more about federal funding but it’s not like that situation has changed either so Harvard just looks foolish all around
I’m shocked they thought it would work. His entire life, political and business, says he isn’t going to try and reach for more once you give in a little.

'We didn't know' isn't a viable defense when the brand is *knowing shit*.
