But it is basically the open enrollment/continuing education/online extension. And it sure as hell ain't Harvard College, the elite undergrad component. Congratulations Mr. Rufo on your "Harvard degree" Good for Mr. Rufo, though, for continuing his education! 1
B-Man Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Harvard Rejects Deal With Trump Admin, Putting Billions in Federal Funding at Risk Admin responds by pulling $2.2 billion in grants and contracts Harvard University told the Trump administration to pound sand—and take $9 billion in federal grant money along with it. The school has advised its attorneys not to pursue a deal with the administration over a series of demands, several aimed at combating anti-Semitism on campus, according to an email sent Monday to faculty members from university president Alan Garber. The decision puts billions of dollars in federal funding to Harvard at risk: The Trump administration announced late last month that it was examining nearly $9 billion in grants and contracts to the school, and it froze $2.2 billion in Harvard grants just hours after Garber's announcement. https://freebeacon.com/campus/harvard-rejects-deal-with-trump-admin-putting-billions-in-federal-funding-at-risk/

B-Man Posted April 15 Posted April 15 LIKE HILLSDALE. FO: Trump Frees Harvard ... From Federal Funding (Plus Irony From Obama) Ed Morrissey Harvard declared that it would not "surrender its independence" after the Trump administration demanded significant changes in policies relating to the anti-Semitic intimidation campaigns on its campus. Hours later, they received good news ... ... the White House thinks Harvard should be independent as well: This is a curious kind of "independence" that Harvard claims to defend. If Harvard had been independent in the first place, the federal government wouldn't have any say over its operations. By receiving federal grant money for research, student loans to subsidize its tuition, and other federal monies, Harvard has essentially accepted federal oversight in how the school operates. This is not a new concept; every administration has used the threat of suspension of federal funding to enforce its interpretation of federal laws and regulations in campus policies, especially Titles Vi, VII, and IX. So it's rather amusing to see Obama attempting to rally support for Harvard's "independence" while slurping at the federal trough {snip} At some point, a federal judge will order Trump to restore funding, and this case will wend its way to the Supreme Court, which will likely quash the order. Harvard is not entitled to federal funding if it refuses to comply with the administration's interpretations of civil-rights laws. However, it would be far cleaner for the administration and the Republicans in Congress to put an end to all federal funding for higher education, as I argued in October 2023 in my essay, "Decolonize Academia Now!" The federal government has no constitutional authority to subsidize colleges and universities, and the 60-year experiment in doing so has transformed Academia into an indoctrination center for the Left, corrupted education to the core, and created disastrous follow-on effects in primary and secondary education. Put all colleges and universities on the Hillsdale plan. Let them survive with true pricing signals, and enforce civil-rights laws through the Department of Justice in a sane and rational manner. That will not just end the problems, but will cleanly eliminate the entitlement mentality currently gripping Academia. https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2025/04/15/fo-trump-frees-harvard-from-federal-funding-n3801803 ,

Roundybout Posted April 15 Posted April 15 What gets me is why are MAGAs so obsessed with defending Israel at all costs? It’s truly bizarre to me. You are not allowed to criticize Israel one bit or else you’re going to get disappeared to El Salvador. 1

You are not allowed to criticize Israel one bit or else you’re going to get disappeared to El Salvador. These are my convictions, and apparently they would constitute a hate crime for these MAGAs: 1. The October 7 attack on Israel and Israelis was horrific. It was organized by Hamas, the de facto government of Gaza. Israel's goal to eliminate Hamas was part of its inherent right to self-defense. 2. While many IDF attachs in Gaza are therefore justified, Israel has engaged in targeting of civilian sites without clear links to Hamas militants or leadership, and these attacks violate the rules of war.

Another Fan Posted April 15 Posted April 15 That was a couple years ago already but I always respected Cornel West he wanted out back then
The Frankish Reich Posted April 15 Posted April 15 40 minutes ago, Another Fan said: That was a couple years ago already but I always respected Cornel West he wanted out back then Umm, here's what he said when he left Harvard the last time around, from his wiki page: In February 2021, reports circulated that West was denied consideration for tenure at Harvard and that he had threatened to leave the university again.[42] On March 8, 2021, West announced that he would leave Harvard and move to the Union Theological Seminary in Manhattan.[43][44][45] He submitted a resignation letter to Harvard on June 30, 2021.[46][non-primary source needed] West implied that the decision to deny him tenure was retaliation for his critical stance on Israel and the Palestinian cause. West wrote: Is Harvard a place for a free Black man like myself whose Christian faith and witness put equal value on Palestinian and Jewish babies – like all babies – and reject all occupations as immoral? Got that? He was too pro-Palestinian for Harvard.
All_Pro_Bills Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Harvard has a $53 billion endowment fund. They don't need taxpayers money. Problem solved. But the cheapskate intellectual elitists prefer to mooch off the rest of us rather than spend their own cash. 1
Niagara Bill Posted Wednesday at 01:09 PM Posted Wednesday at 01:09 PM Do you all remember the GOP complaints that the left demanded and launched too many regulations, too many rules. Well, welcome to Harvard, who is resisting rules, regulations and standards set by...the GOP. An independent school. Take away the money, wtf does a university do with $9 billion per yr grant, but let them run their business. They are breaking no laws.
