This is different.
They don't have a right to federal funding, especially if they have been racist.

The judge is Alison Burroughs. She always rules in Harvard's favor.
She is the one that ruled that Harvard wasn't discriminating against Asians in the face of obvious discrimination against Asians.
This ruling will be appealed and the first circuit will also rule in Harvard's favor and then it will go to the Supreme Court where they will settle the matter.
Don't you ever get tired of being so easily proven wrong?
Harvard sued its insurance firm, the Zurich American Insurance Company, in September 2021, arguing that the firm’s refusal to cover its legal fees violated a contract between the two sides.
But on Wednesday, Judge Allison D. Burroughs sided with the insurance firm, rejecting Harvard’s argument that it did not have to notify the company of its widely-covered Students For Fair Admissions lawsuit. The ruling will force the school to pay the fees it incurred over eight years of litigation in the case.
Oopsie on your part.

And that ruling was held up on appeal and was not included as part of the final appeal to the Supreme Court. And the issue decided by the Supreme Court had nothin to do with that finding.

Eh, sometimes it is better to settle lawsuits. They don’t look like cowards…event though they were also in the right.
They absolutely did and still do look like cowards.
Anticipatory obedience to authoritarian overreach benefits no university. It’s too bad the universities didn’t band together once Trump started his illegal actions and resist uniformly. Instead Columbia caved, Brown caved and now Trump is going after every uni from George Mason to Northwestern to Duke.

They never gave Trump money. It was changing the details for the records of Lia Thomas.
Right it was very different than the situation with Columbia. Most of campus agrees that the Lia Thomas situation was an affront to Women in sports, they just cannot say it aloud

+1 what is the judge going to do about it? Nothing. Plus, Trump will probably appeal.
True but maybe someday he’ll get tired of being laughed out of court. Probably not though because he’s just wasting our tax dollars with these illegal actions and not his own money.

Especially with SCOTUS who just rubber stamps anything he hands them

Scotus will have to chime in again and invalidate yet another regional liberal judge

+1. I would love if this lasted, but I don't expect it to. Unfortunately, we're in the phase where institutions are capitulating, and that includes the courts. A few district court judges are staying true to what the law was a year ago, but the Supreme Court has signaled that the only rule in America now is that whatever Trump does is legal.

I don’t know the UPenn details, but Brown’s deal was a far cry from Columbia’s thankfully. Wish they all banded together also, but Harvard was in best financial position to weather storm. Hope this sticks.
