Harvard is welcome to keep defending antisemitism, discrimination against Asians and look down at the average American. But they don’t get our taxes in return.

The U.S. has many research institutes that are far more deserving of the federal government money.

Name one. Harvard has produced 18 Nobel Laureates in Medicine.

You mean that 18 Nobel Laureates in medicine, among others, produced Harvard.

But remember that the Nobel prizes are given by extreme left leaning institutions, so the Ivy league and the institutions that give Nobel awards can continue an infinite loop of validating each other, but that will carry less and less value over time. Ivy league degrees used to be non-partisan badges of elite scholarship but that seems to be changing. I doubt that any conservative student or professor would go near Columbia, and it is hard for a school to call itself elite when it is an echo chamber for just one viewpoint. The perception of the Ivy league has changed a lot in the last few years, not for the better, and it is a valid question what value an Ivy league degree will carry in a decade or two.

It’s a private university. It can be “woke” if it wants to.

And the government can stop helping them if it wants to.

The government is not helping them. Not funding Harvard. What it does do is call for proposals as the US government “invests” in primary, groundbreaking research on our collective behalf. Scientists and professors at Harvard, and other institutions, apply for these proposals and out compete other applicants to win research grants via a rigorous process. In return, the US government gets basic research that has been shown multiple times to then lead to commercial innovation.

If the government did not invest in university researchers in return for driving innovation, the govt would have to hire all those scientists and pay them if they want research. So, no, the govt is not charitably funding Harvard. They have a direct relationship with the researcher/ PI on the research project.

Defund Harvard and the talent will flow accordingly. Harvard cannot use this excuse to hold tax payers hostage.

In fairness, Harvard itself has documented tolerance of antisemitism.
https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2024/5/23/penslar-ellias-antisemitism-task-force/

“Some of what the task force has observed clearly falls within the rubric of antisemitism, understood as identity-based bias against Jews irrespective of their national origin or personal beliefs.”

So although Trump is 100% doing this in bad faith, Harvard left itself open by its former limp-to-nonexistent response to antisemitism.

I’m a JHU employee and for the first time this year the mandatory diversity training actually included examples of antisemitism, among many other types of discrimination. This is progress.

Nonsense. All of this is nothing more than a smokescreen for Trump and billionaires to launder money through Harvard to Israel.

I'm glad that you consider the Harvard Crimson to be a credible source because I'm not in the mood for you to handwave the evidence in support of my assertion. Let's kick off with today's edition of the Crimson:

Harvard announced a new undergraduate study abroad program with Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and launched a postdoctoral fellowship for Israeli scientists at Harvard Medical School on Monday in a dramatic expansion of the University’s academic and institutional ties to Israel. The Office of International Education added BGU to its roster of approved-term time study abroad partners earlier this month. The program will begin in spring 2026 and offer Harvard College students credit-bearing opportunities for spring, full-year, or summer study in Israel. The Medical School fellowship — funded by the Blavatanik Family Foundation and the Dorot Foundation and backed by the Kalaniyot Foundation, which has a chapter at HMS — will support Israeli researchers in conducting two to three years of basic biomedical research at HMS or one of its affiliated hospitals in Boston. . . . The announcements were also made just weeks after Harvard reopened negotiations with the Trump administration, which has withheld nearly $3 billion in federal funding since April amid ongoing concerns of campus antisemitism. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/7/29/harvard-israeli-university-partnerships/.

This comes on the heels of the creation of another funnel of money to Israel:

Among the other proposals surfaced in the memo is a recommendation to launch a “Legacy of Antisemitism” initiative — a project that appears to draw inspiration from Harvard's embattled $100 million Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery Initiative, which drew criticism after researchers alleged they were instructed to slow their work and avoid overly ambitious findings. The memo offers no detail about what the proposed antisemitism initiative would involve. But another document released on Monday — an undated 10-page report authored by an unidentified individual or group whose relationship to the Trump administration remains unclear — provides a more detailed vision. It called for the creation of a Center for Antisemitism Research, led by a director jointly appointed by Harvard and religious leaders at Harvard Chabad and Hillel. The center would be tasked with investigating the historical roots of antisemitism at Harvard and analyzing declining Jewish student enrollment. Beyond the initiative, the report leveled wide-ranging accusations of “antisemitism and anti-Americanism” against the University and includes a laundry list of proposed reforms. It urged Harvard to suspend student government operations for five years, sever ties with Palestinian institutions including Dar-al-Kalima University as well as Birzeit, and establish a conservative academic center modeled after the nonpartisan Hoover Institution at Stanford University." https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/7/23/harvard-trump-memo/.

Wait, the Legacy of Slavery Initiative? That sounds familiar. One month after identifying 100 living descendants of black slaves owned by Harvard, the university abruptly ended that program in January within one week of settling an antisemitism lawsuit. What the hell does the American slavery have to do with antisemitism? Well, as always, it's clear that one penny spent on anything that even remotely benefits a black person is too damn much for some people. Anyhoo, with all that money Harvard wasn't spending on the Slavery Initiative, did the university do anything with it? Of course they did!

The Harvard Management Company reinvested $150 million in Booking Holdings Inc., a company under fire for its operation in Israeli settlements in the West Bank, according to the HMC’s 2024 third quarter filings. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/1/28/HMC-reinvests-booking-holdings/.

Yeppers! That happened! So, to recap, on January 21st, the Crimson reported that the university settled an antisemitism lawsuit. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/1/21/harvard-settles-antisemitism-lawsuits/#:~:text=Updated%20January%2021%2C%202025%20at%2010%3A05%20p.m.&text=Per%20the%20settlements%2C%20Harvard%20will,Remembrance%20Association%20definition%20of%20antisemitism. The next week, on the same day that Harvard reinvested in Israeli companies, the university effectively shuttered the Slavery Initiative. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/1/28/hsrp-december-report-descendants/; https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/2/12/antigua-garber-message/. And now, Harvard promises to bring back a program identical to the Slavery Initiative, but not for those pesky blacks.

And you call this progress? Of course you do. And you want me to believe this is about discrimination? You're right. It is, but you're dead wrong about the people who are being discriminated. Follow the money. That's the real reason every single critic of Claudine Gay wanted her gone.

lol whut. Did you really just gin up “the Jews are responsible for anti-black racism at Harvard”? Of course you did. I bet you had to smoke a cigarette after typing that out.

You have serious issues.

Actually it’s supporting multiple viewpoints. It’s unfortunate that yours is apparently keeping you from understanding that.


Yale’s most infamous DEI admit might actually be JD Vance. He checked multiple diversity boxes.

Isn’t the racial discrimination in admissions well documented?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Students_for_Fair_Admissions_v._Harvard

Don’t fall for her stupid gimmicks. She’ll keep asking the same questions again and again no matter how many times you’ve answered. Then she’ll say l, see you don’t have any documentation?

I’m a guy, and I acknowledged the Supreme Court case referenced in the Wikipedia article. That was two years ago, so I’m asking about racial discrimination since that case.

Harvard has documented its own past and more recent antisemitism problems.

Jared brought intellectual diversity to Harvard because he was much dumber than everyone else there.

Most of the money from the UMichigan DEI program went towards scholarships for mostly poor, white kids from rural Michigan.

The group that benefited the most from the TJ admissions changes was Asian students from low-income families.

Sookyung Oh, Director of Hamkae Center shared, “Every parent wants to know their child will not be disadvantaged in our public education system no matter their personal wealth or language abilities. It is imperative that students from communities of color, including Asian Americans, will not be disadvantaged by an unfair admissions process and will have the same access to educational opportunities only previously afforded to those with the wealth and privilege to get their children into schools like TJ.”
https://www.advancingjustice-aajc.org/press-release/multi-racial-group-thomas-jefferson-students-family-and-alumni-denounce-effort


“Nevertheless, in the 2021 application cycle, Asian American students attending middle schools historically underrepresented at TJ saw a sixfold increase in offers, and the number of low-income Asian American admittees to TJ increased to 51 — from a mere one in 2020.”

If MAGAs think “DEI” only means black people and women then that explains why they are so opposed to it.
