At least some other universities are jointing the fight. Once united they stand a better chance of fighting fascism.

I don’t think he is a billionaire, but he should be worth multi millionaire status. He said he would increase his donations if the money was pulled. So did Lawrence O’Donnell. I don’t think any of the billionaire Harvard alumni have publicly made a statement about what’s happening

Fail to see how this plan is going to result in anything positive for anyone, especially in the long-term.

Faculty, PIs, STEM, humanities … usually among the most tolerant individuals in our society, these people are beginning to ask really tough questions about government interference in academia and research that’s being driven by, of all things, questionable foreign policy priorities.

Are these all the hypocritical liberals that were calling us racists so they could score political points. Isn't that sort of evil? All the Democrats on here applauding Harvard, don't even know what integrity is.

I don't agree with many of the things Harvard has done over the past few years, but people need to realize how dangerous this situation is. The government cannot start targeting universities with ideological purity tests. This is eerily similar to what happened during the cultural revolution in China. It will take decades for out universities to recover if we go down this path.

Harvard started it shubbing woke/ DEI BS down our throats for mote than a decade and now it's time to find out as in FAFO.

Besides, [/b] we really need to shift all federal money from these entitled schools to public universities.

You mean like the funding Trump administration removed from U Alabama, university of Michigan and UNC Chaplel Hill.

That democrats don’t see this just confirms how elitist and out of touch democrats are

If you think this is limited to Ivy only, you are in a world of delusional hurt. If this was just about the Ivies, the Big 10 schools would not have decided to ban together to defend each other against Trump. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/16/trump-universities-response

But that’s objectively horribly horribly dangerous for democracy.
I’m a Jew but pro Palestinian speech is fine by me.
Trump needs to go fight a battle for people who want it fought for them
Where are the Jews standing up and staying not in my name? Enough already!

Unfortunately, I think there are many Jewish Americans cheering all of this on with the belief that the propaganda regarding anti-semitism on campuses was accurate, and a false sense of confidence that these unconstitutional actions won’t result in something very, very bad in the long run.

Colleges have always been at the forefront of anti-war and anti-apartheid protests. If they can stop Pro Palestinian protest, it will go a long way towards appeasing Jewish billionaire donors that have helped fund Trump's campaign like Miriam Adelson. They saw the dangers of what was happening in Columbia University and don't want to see that replicated again.

Alternatively, it can go a long way into making american people fall further down the rabbit hole in despising Jewish people with the faulty belief that Jews control everything. And America is bought by Israel and Jews.

Record donations pouring in to Harvard.

Current student at Harvard and I don't approve. Harvard has to comply with civil rights laws. I have to comply with them, you have to comply, employers have to comply, and universities have to comply too.

How is this a violation of civil rights laws?

But the government doesn't have to comply with laws apparently?

If this is your analysis, Harvard is truly scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Have you read the letter from the administration? A quick summary: Harvard must immediately begin choosing applicants based on merit and not based on race, sex, etc. Harvard must discipline the students who participated in the hate crime of assaulting Jewish students in 2023. Harvard must stop including antisemitic texts or materials in its curriculum.

All of these are civil rights issues. Let's play a game. If it had been white supremacists beating black students, would that be a civil rights issue? If the request was to stop teaching materials racist against black people, would that not be a civil rights issue? And re admissions, either you believe in merit based evaluations or you believe in giving advantages to certain races. SCOTUS has been very clear that choosing based on race is a civil rights violation.

Yet ironically they don't want people people who protest for Palestinians to be afforded the same rights.

The government should absolutely be held accountable. But you seem to be making the argument that the government lacks moral authority to enforce civil rights laws. There isn't some alternative mechanism we have to enforce laws, though, so you're going to have to accept imperfection in the government or be fine with anarchy.

You can protest for Palestine without beating Jewish students or providing material support to terrorist groups. It's possible and people do it all the time. Harvard students can too.

That's a very fancy way of saying the government can require all people to be nice to Jews under penalty of whatever. If that is the government you wish for, please exercise your right of return.
