Yikes. Feels like this is going to be a hard sell to the courts, and Harvard has resources to stay afloat for a little while. Still, terrible precedent to set and a huge overreach.

Trump will cut Harvard off from ALL federal research funding, per letter to the school:
"Harvard should no longer seek GRANTS from the federal government, since none will be provided. Harvard will cease to be a publicly funded institution, and can instead operate as a privately-funded institution."

The truth is Harvard will be fine even if it never receives another dollar from the federal government.
But would it survive as a very prestigious institution that does a ton of things, of course it would live indefinitely without a dollar from the feds
You guys need to keep perspective. Think about Oxford and Cambridge and all the ups and downs they've gone through over 800 (!) years.
The next few years may be lean, but Harvard will be Harvard.
