How does destroying Harvard help anyone?  And the funding is cut across the board not just from Harvard.[/quote]
Asking a federal funded institution to stay apolitical and non-racist is NOT destroying them!!![/quote]

It is not a federally funded institution.  institutions compete for research grants and are awarded research grants based on the science, not based on some political ideology you're trying to impose.  Or at least that's the way it should be.   When you remove that, it is destructive.[/quote]
The research itself may not be political, but they use the freed up cash to political stuff and become entitled to it. So now they need to lose the entitlement and fund their own research.[/quote]

Ah so you are fine with the univ of Florida (say) being funded but not Harvard. Even if the UF prof is producing stuff at a lower quality level than the Harvard prof?   You would be ok with your tax dollars undergoing some sort of political litmus test before you decide who to award?  For the record, the UF professor often has a better proposal than the Harvard prof and is funded.  But right now they win on merit and not some weird political scheme. [/quote]
Didn’t know 99%of UF’s faculty is liberal or conservative.[/quote]
