A preliminary list of at-risk schools compiled by the Army for troops enrolling in law school and reviewed by CNN characterizes the following schools as being at “moderate to high risk” of being banned: 
American University, Boston College, Boston University, Brown University, Carnegie Mellon, Case Western University, Columbia University, College of William and Mary, Cornell University, Duke, Emory, Florida Institute of Technology, Fordham, Georgetown, George Washington University, Harvard, Hawaii Pacific University, Johns Hopkins University, the London School of Economics and Political Science, MIT, Northeastern University, Northwestern University, New York University, Pepperdine, Princeton, Stanford, Tufts, University of Miami, University of Pennsylvania, University of Southern California, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, Washington University in St Louis, and Yale.[/quote]

It’s very simple. If people here read actual newspaper articles they would understand. Note the word “may”. This is all about putting pressure on Harvard to settle the now $1B action against it. The Trump Administration sued Harvard because it has not yet disclosed its admissions records. Eight hours ago. This “may” threat is simple political maneuvering as we’ve seen Trump do with tariffs. He uses tariffs to get countries to take action.  Then the tariffs are reduced or go away.  Here, Hegseth issues a “may” threat just after Trump sues Harvard.

I’m a Harvard grad who thinks (along with some law professors at HLS) that the President of Harvard really botched this by repeatedly using the NYTimes to foolishly tweak the administration. Initially, Harvard could have settled below the $300 million that Columbia paid but it leaked settlement negotiations to the NYTimes and that pissed of the Administration. Then, the settlement amount jumped to $500 million. Two weeks ago, Harvard again tweaked the admin through the NYTimes, claiming Harvard had won the negotiations and that Trump was walking away. Trump immediately blasts back now demanding $1B. Harvard, in its arrogance, has just played this all wrong.

The alumni letters in the alumni magazine are divided on this.[/quote]

You are correct. I’m on Dilaudid after a major surgery and make mistakes. That was intended for a different post.[/quote]
