    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.
