And please stop talking about wasting "tax payer dollars" on these institutions when Trump is bilking the government for millions that goes into his own pockets, we are spending a fortune on overpaying unemployable losers to be ICE agents and strip us of our civil rights to overreact to a crisis (migrants) which needs to be dealt with but not in this horrible way, and tariffs are taking a fortune out of your pockets to satisfy Trump's tough guy complex. So how about stop wasting our money on those things?

Let's just rip off the band aid and divide the country in two:

Those people who are influenced by all of this crazy propaganda, believe every word out of Trump's mouth, are worked up by every crisis he creates even though it has no impact on their daily lives (and I don't disagree with him on all of them, but I believe he blows them way out of proportion), etc.

And the rest of us who are rational, intelligent human beings who have maintained the ability to think critically, admit that this country is far from perfect and needs to be improved but this is not the way to do it (I think we went overboard with DEI but the obsession with going the opposite way and the overreaction is insane), and are horrified that tens of millions of people worship at the alter of a narcissistic sociopath with a mafia boss complex who is profiting off of all of us.

I really don't understand how anyone can be on the fence about any of this. It is truly scary. When will our national nightmare be over? And if I get one response with "TDS" you are just proving you are brainwashed.

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.



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.

That was a lot of words that did not address pp’s question.


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

Huh? Our military leaders can't handle American University and the rest, but they're supposed to defend the country?


Right? Hegseth trying to give DOD (er, DOW) a strongman image but then they act like snowflakes.

Isn't the sprawling Columbia campus still contaminated by extreme levels of asbestos spread all over it since 9/11 ?

This will be quickly reversed by the next administration. It's temporary culture war nonsense, which seems to be all that Hegseth is allowed to do these days.


I hope that by reversed you mean withdraw funding from every red state university that has remained silent while the administration terrorizes schools based on perceived political views.

Same- they have (had?) programs for members to study public policy which is just a great idea in general. But don't be fooled, they are still the best and brightest in the military and I'm sure they see what's going on with clear eyes.
