Harvard isn't being destroyed. They can use their billions to educate all the ultra liberal students they wish.


^^^ doesn't understand endowments. sad.

If you keep lying about it will not become a truth.

The gross thing is that you wish we were “antisemitic” so you can keep crying wolf BUT we are not. We care about ending the genocide in Palestine. That is not being anti-Jewish.


You can keep asking this until you’re blue in the face, but you won’t get a response. I’ve tried several times.

I understand plenty. Don't pretend they have no money to educate students. You're a sad case ifvthat's what you're thinking.

Why isn’t Harvard saying that almost 31% of their students are from FOREIGN LANDS, and yet those countries, some not at all friendly to the United States, pay NOTHING toward their student’s education, nor do they ever intend to. Nobody told us that! We want to know who those foreign students are, a reasonable request since we give Harvard BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, but Harvard isn’t exactly forthcoming. We want those names and countries. Harvard has $52,000,000, use it, and stop asking for the Federal Government to continue GRANTING money to you!

Why does it matter who those students are? In fact, you already know who they are, they have student visas. Go find out. And if, by saying Harvard has $52,000,000 he’s referring to their endowment, he’s off by three orders of magnitude. It $52 billion. Finally, the government doesn’t grant money to Harvard, they pay Harvard for research, which hopefully benefits society and the world.

What a dope.


In the meantime, Harvard is offering free classes in an effort to educate the ignorant masses. They are definitely the good guys here.

Apparently they need to offer a primer on university finances.


Do they? They seem to be doing fine.


Free to the clueless public.

Misinformation--like Trump implying that foreign students attend for free--is tough to fight.


I don't care if they pay their own way or not. We don't need to import agitators and educate them.


So you want to send 1,100,000 tuition-paying students away because a handful broke a few rules?

I think you need to re-evaluate the priorities in your life.


You put words in my mouth. I was referring to the agitators.


The universities handle the discipline of the "agitators," just like students committing whatever other sort of infraction.

The campus protests would not have been meaningfully different without foreign students.

The federal government *definitely* has better ways to be spending our taxpayer-supported resources.

Just because Trump is annoyed because some schools rejected his child is not sane justification for all this ridiculous drama.


That is precisely the issue: Harvard failed to discipline the violent and bullying antisemitic behavior exhibited by some students and faculty.

They even acknowledged this in a study they published a few months ago.

If this violation of civil rights were occurring against Black individuals on campus, there would be widespread support for withholding funding and visas.

It's justified to invest in demonstrating that the U.S. will not tolerate such behavior, and it's appropriate to withhold billions of dollars in grants.


Trump is so concerned about anti- semitism that he gave this guy a full pardon:

Thanks for the links.

The things described in that editorial are wrong. In some cases, consequences happened -- eg, an employee was fired. In others, something should have been done more or sooner.

BUT, despite the editorial being recent, all of the incidents cited are more than a year old. That would indicate that Harvard has righted the disciplinary ship, because the underlying issue has not eased up at all.

Both Kestenbaum (the editorial writer) and a couple of posters above are wrong: Garber cannot "he can simply dip into its $53 billion endowment to fund the research." Endowments are not just big slush funds able to be spent when and how a university president wants. They are under a gazillion different restrictions depending on what strings were attached to donations.

Destroying the university is wrong over a more-or-less solved problem is insanity. Kestenbaum is justifiably angry over inappropriate behavior against Jews by a few perpetrators. Note though that while these incidents should never have happened, they were hardly widespread when you consider a community of more than 50,000 over a year and a half. Trump is angry, and who knows why.

They both want retribution, and the sort of jolting, destructive retribution they want is out of line and inappropriate to the situation. Oddly, both the antisemitic incidents and Trump's quest are both manifestations of the out-of-control follow-on to cancel culture -- the "your side is wrong so you need to be destroyed" craziness that is also lies at the heart of the Israeli-Gazan conflict.

Has anyone shown any overt acts of antisemitism that were actually sponsored and condoned by Harvard's administration?

And can anyone explain the hypocrisy of Trump coddling and pardoning antisemites?

Imagine if they properly documented all the abuse pro-Palestinian protestors received. The number of incidents and the severity of them would absolutely dwarf anything "antisemitic" both at Harvard and elsewhere

Harvard won't be destroyed for touching their funds.

It's nonsense to spout that. They are NOT ENTITLED to tax payer monies.

Your centers of power are being put on notice. Don't like it, too bad.

With sll the "tax the rich" crowd here, I'm game!

Harvard's Endowment is $53 Billion.

It costs $18 Billion per day to run fed.gov

Let's tax the endowment at 100%.

That will run the federal government and pay the welfare checks for 3 days.

Pay up!!!

PP.

I 100% agree.

Steven Pinker wrote a fantastic piece criticizing both Harvard’s flaws and Trump’s actions. Single best thing I’ve read about the situation.

DP. Look, I’m no fan of much of what happens at elite universities, but on balance they do FAR more good than harm to America.

Reform, not destruction, is the correct course of action here.

Yes, Harvard has recently produced such noted Marxists as Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse, Pat Toomey, Dan Crenshaw, Elise Stefanik, John Roberts and Neil Gorsuch.
