The real stakes in Trump’s confrontation with Harvard

 https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/13/politics/trump-universities-research-economy-nih-cuts/index.html

Supporters of university research see another threat: the administration’s repeated moves to deport foreign students, including several for political viewpoints they expressed about the Israel-Hamas war. “If you are a smart kid in India or China, you are going to ask: ‘Why am I going to go to the United States?’” Kenney said.

These pincer moves have divided academic administrators, with some schools conceding to the administration’s demands (such as Columbia) and others pledging to fight them (Princeton). But the implications of these cutbacks will reverberate far beyond campus walls.

  1. If Harvard really needs the money, they can call their sugar daddies in Qatar and ask for another "donation".
    Here's the bottom line: If Harvard was a centre of excellence, prioritized free speech and diversity of opinion and cracked down on Jew hatred, then none of this would be happening. And since Harvard is no longer a centre of excellent, suppresses free speech and diversity of opinion and encourages Jew hatred, it has to accept the consequences that come with that.
