[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]DOJ is getting nowhere with this, especially in a MA federal court.[/quote][/b]

Harvard could have settled this for less than Columbia at $300M, but Harvard keeps pressuring the Trump administration through the New York Times, which results in higher and higher offers.  They were at $500M when Harvard claimed that Bondi/Trump were walking away from the negotiations.  That wasn't true and Trump upped the settlement to $1B.  It's not going well for Harvard.  It could have settled this and moved on, like other universities long ago, but Garber keeps making arrogant mistakes.

MA federal court means nothing. The two wins Harvard has will be affirmed by the First Circuit and reversed by the Supreme Court.  Exactly the same thing happened with the Harvard admissions case (same judge, too, who should have recused herself).

In the Harvard Magazine the alums are divided on this in the letters.  Many think Harvard has shown too much hubris.  Just turn over the records.  Of course, they don't want to because they will demonstrate discrimination in hiring and admissions - Just like Bondi found at UVA Medical School.  These schools thought they could circumvent the Supreme Court by being clever, but it's not working out well for them. So long as they continue to defy the Supreme Court and discriminate, I have no patience for them. [/quote]

Bondi found nothing….absolute idiot. Crawl back under your rock.[/quote]

If she (it’s actually Dhillon if you knew what you were talking about) had “found nothing” then why are the negotiations going into its second year? DOJ would have walked away.  DOJ asked for the records in April 2025. Harvard hasn’t complied because OF COURSE the admissions records are going to show discrimination post the SCOTUS decision, so Harvard has been posturing and doing whatever it can to fan the flames in The NY Times against Trump. Very foolish with this administration (and no I’m not a Trumper - just a Harvard grad who knows education well). Step back and look at the situation. Harvard could have solved its discrimination problems a year ago at $25O million like the other three schools did. Instead, it’s balked and it’s not going well. Now the settlement figure is at $1b. How is that good management of the issue?[/quote]

Responding to the Bondi UVA comment, not Harvard. Dhillon is as much of a tool as Bondi and they have basically nothing as well which is why Harvard isn’t playing ball. The schools who caved are embarrassing. There will be zero settlement in the next few years and in 28 the govt will apologize and drop everything. [/quote]
