It is amazing that anybody is willing to tolerate this. This is a private university. Yes it gets funding from the government but so does Tesla, every oil and gas company, list goes on. For THE PRESIDENT to randomly target private institutions is insanity.
I couldn't believe when he was running for president in 2015 and Macy's stopped carrying Trump crap, he said he was happy that Macy's was laying off employees. I thought people would never tolerate a president who would cheer for layoffs of Americans because it hurt his ego.
So, just for fun, let’s take a moment to look just a few moves down Trump’s 4-D chess boards.
Let’s pretend Harvard wins this case. The Trump administration still wins because Harvard will have exhausted “X” amount of resources to fight for their rights,
every other institution will see that they will either need to coalesce to Trump or collapse into irrelevancy. Then again, in the end, maybe they’ll do both?
Ultimately, with other higher education institutions watching the government’s slow & steady dismantling of Harvard’s student population, academic coursework and $50 billion endowments-
why would anyone consider attending Harvard when their paths would be much simpler if they chose a different institution.
Simultaneously its efforts would exhaust more of the institution’s assets-money tied to litigation and lost revenues (tuition), not to mention irreparable damage to its brand.
Once again, even if Harvard and/or its students win their case(s), Trump’s legal tactics would have had the intended effect because they would deter future international students from pursuing their academic ambitions thru Harvard-
This would result in the revocation of their visas, which in turn would result in these cases being litigated through every level of the legal system-up, down, and up again. Ultimately the case(s) will end up in the hands of SCOTUS.
The Trump administration’s next move would involve targeting the international students who are currently enrolled at or planning to attend Harvard-declaring them as threats to national security and the safety of U.S. citizens.
while Trump will have only spent taxpayer $ to debase the institute and further fuel and strengthen the anti-higher education sentiment across his base with baseless conspiracy theories and propaganda via endless clips on right-wing media outlets.
I stand with Harvard! Impeach this orange son of a bitch and remove him from office for good. And don't allow the rest of the Trump family to run for office either.
Harvard said no to Trump. Being a
thin- skinned, vengeful little bully, Trump ordered foreign students attending Harvard to leave the school and the country within 72 hours. How cruel is that? A federal judge blocked this despicable order for now. ☹️
please help...be our voice...CHP and Ekrem İmamoğlu, the founder of the country that is in opposition in Türkiye, are being held captive in prison. Young people are going through difficult times under prohibitions and oppression.
Imagine trying to go toe to toe with the University that produces some of the best lawyers not only in our nation, but the world. Trump administration continues to shoot themselves in the foot.
Trump interfering in Harvard to intimidate University's to knuckle under on the truth of him and MAGA movement. It is straight out of the playbook of fascists. This is not how our Government has operated in the past, a first in White House suppression on free speech. Not even Nixon went this far.
