The 18 schools supporting Harvard

Anonymous
It's not a vote. There's no need to have 100 universities on the filing. It's important to have a few parties with something to contribute to the legal argument. You don't want to many parties on one brief because then it's redundant and the brief doesn't represent all the parties' actual concerns and arguments.

Looks like Cornell actually has a sackanuts.

A better question is, what could go wrong if they don't push back? The answer, as Columbia is learning, is everything.


And even if they don't win better to go down fighting than to tuck tail, capitulate and lose anyway


If they are loyal to God Emperor, they will be rewarded and honored like his co-President Elon Musk and all of Trump's ex-wives and all the venues his campaigns booked and all the banks who lent money to his businesses...

They are wusses, and/or lead by MAGAs.

Here's the list:

The 18 institutions requesting permission to file an amicus curiae (or “friend of the court”) brief are:

Boston University; Brown University; California Institute of Technology; Colorado State University; Dartmouth College; Johns Hopkins University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Michigan State University; Oregon State University; Princeton University; Rice University; Rutgers University; Tufts University; University of Maryland, College Park; University of Oregon; University of Pennsylvania; University of Pittsburgh; and Yale University.

Go UMD. They are willing to stand up to a dictator, unlike the other universities. Shame on UVA and other universities for not joining the fight. They are indeed on the right side of history.


How is UMD standing up to President Xi of China ?

Cute. But, Xi is not the one dictating what universities should teach and whom they should admit.

hm. but those other universities stood up before UVA. I guess UVA and others aren't leaders in high ed. They just follow whatever the others do.

Yeah. All those people that didn’t want to push back at Hitler ….

The California university system did nothing and he’s targeting them now.

You can’t be a wuss. Pitiful.

LOL ! Exaggerate much ?

President Trump will shift his focus elsewhere if schools give him some respect. Compromise. Only 3.5 years remaking in President Trump's presidency.

The universities sitting back will learn from the Harvard and Columbia situations, then can proceed in a reasonable manner.

At least half the nation supports President Trump.

China has been at war with the US for many years. Several Harvard professors sold US funded research to China. There should be some penalties.


Are they tasty, the boots you seem so ready to lick?

Gross.

I would bet that he does that.

It also has one of the hugest endowments so it can ride out a lot of storms. I have more kudos for the schools on this list that don't have quite as deep pockets.

All of the law firms that rolled over for Trump are falling apart because no one wants to have a firm represent them that has no backbone. The same will happen with the schools that don’t stand up.

It is so sad seeing the maga idiots just regurgitating Fox News talking points. They are afraid to question das Fuhrer. The vast majority of Dems will admit flaws in our leadership. Maga just falls in line and kisses the ring. Do you really think Trump is perfect? Do you want your children to be like him?

“Respect”? What would that look like to you? What other US Presidents — or leaders in other countries— have somehow needed “respect “ from universities in order to “shift…focus”?

Harvard deserves ALL the smoke they are getting.

You may not like the anti-science consequences, I don't either. But, Harvard has brought this on itself.

I suspect that the desire to cut all this research will fade after they pass the tax cuts. They have to make the tax cuts look less expensive and right now that means less research on curing cancer and fusion energy. Less foreign aid, and less of everything else that government should probably be paying for. But they have to get those tax cuts. Nothing else matters to them.
