| Bet Trump kidnaps Alan Garber and deports him to Salvador. |

Nothing would surprise me at this point. |

| Has Harvard stopped its racial discrimination? |

WTF are you going on about? This is about the RWNJs dictating what will be taught, who will teach it, what can not be taught and who can attend Harvard. This is Mao Tse-tung thought police and you are Trumps Red Guard. |

Harvard only does policy research? What kind of moronic universe do MAGAs inhabit? |

Hmm. How about training researchers, producing research, and educating some of the people who will eventually become competent and even groundbreaking in their fields — in ways that contribute to the health, safety, and well-being of all of us. Sounds good to me! It’s a great use of my particular tax dollars. I laughed (darkly) when I heard that Trump fired members of the team who developed treatments that likely saved his life when he got COVID. If there’s a next time, I hope he’s alert enough to understand it when he’s told: “Well, we were working on that Sir, but you and DOGE closed that unit down. The world’s foremost medical team working on what you’ve got is gone. Here’s an aspirin though.” |

I'm pretty sure in scientific circles Harvard doesn't mean anything and won't be missed. What did you study at Harvard, engineering? Hahaha This is what chatGPT had to say about why Harvard has so many fewer patents: Focus on Basic Research Harvard emphasizes fundamental science — research aimed at understanding how things work, rather than immediately creating marketable technologies. This kind of work often leads to papers and discoveries rather than patents. Different Institutional Missions Public universities like the University of California system, University of Michigan, or University of Texas often have large engineering schools and agriculture/biotech programs that are historically more tied to applied research and commercialization. These schools also have strong partnerships with industry and state initiatives that incentivize patenting. Size and Breadth Schools like UC Berkeley or Texas A&M have massive engineering and agriculture departments (often larger than Harvard’s entire science faculty) and more infrastructure specifically aimed at technology transfer and commercialization. Culture and Incentives Some academic environments encourage publishing over patenting. Harvard has stepped up its Office of Technology Development in recent years, but the culture still leans more toward scholarly impact than commercial output. Harvard vs. MIT Just across the river, MIT is an engineering and applied science beast, and it cranks out patents like crazy. If you're comparing institutions in terms of innovation-to-product pipeline, MIT usually dwarfs Harvard, even though both schools collaborate on a lot of research. |

Harvard School of Public Health, Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of engineering. You only thought of undergraduate didn’t you. Anyway they have plenty of engineering, science and math bachelors |

The constortium of what is essentially the Big10 schools (18 plus U-Chicago?) have created a joint defense fund and agreement to fight anything that comes their way, collectively. |

I go to Dana Farber for treatment and they always have research studies going on. |

You don’t know much about IP enforcement against the US government. |

Harvard is not as important as it used to be. There are plenty of public universities that offer a comparable education at 1/4 the price.

Why are we paying for public universities? |
