[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So dumb.  “No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue”’

The government isn’t saying that.  No one is forcing Harvard to do anything.  They have a billion dollar endowment and can do as they please.

What they can’t do is foster an educational atmosphere of harassment and expect the taxpayers to finance it.[/quote]

Sounds like you skipped the letter with the Trump admin’s demands.  In the second link.[/quote]

I literally quoted from the article.

No one is forcing Harvard to do anything.

Harvard is throwing a hissy fit because it wants to do certain things AND get taxpayer funds.

Doesn’t work like that.[/quote]

Their funding like every other school that gets federal funding is for the good of the country.  The funding goes into researching diseases and cures. They are affiliated with some of the best teaching hospitals in the country.  They do research on advancing technology and much more.

Their endowment is money donated to them usually with instructions on how to use it.

Enough with the tax money.  Every school gets some type of funding, it’s what helps make a civilized country.  [/quote]

But the argument was that they could racially discriminate in admissions because they are private and don't get government funding. How many woke racists made that argument?  How many of you stood quietly by while they did this?[/quote]
