Republicans were like, do these crazy things or we’ll cut your funding. Harvard said no. This comes after Columbia mostly acquiesced to similar demands.
More like Harvard said: “We get fifty times that much money from elsewhere - go ahead and try me.” They also issued a pretty scathing justification, but they really are standing tall on independent funding.
I applaud what they’re doing but I fear that this approach isn’t viable for the majority of universities.
Trump “cancelled” DEI in all American Universities by saying federal funds would be cancelled if the programs were not eliminated. Nearly all major universities did it, because they really had no choice.
Didn’t they get free money (they used to invest in our future workforce obvy) all along the way until just now? Or have their speech/activities been chilled along the way too :-/
What was he congratulating Harvard for?

They had a choice. They chose money over principles.
if someone put a gun to my head and said “say you love Trump or I’ll pull the trigger”, I’d probably say all sorts of shit.
As soon as their eyes are off me I’d try to fight back, but at some point you have to make compromises to ensure you’ll be around to keep fighting.
