I am willing to see harvard destroyed to serve as a cautionary tale against racism, why aren't you? I'd like to see their tax exempt status revoked and all federal funding withdrawn and reallocated to flagship state schools. There is nothing unique about harvard's labs (or any of the ivy league labs) that the research cannot be done elsewhere. If the grants move to UNC, UVA and U of Florida, so will the researchers. I am not happy that they are using a wrecking ball but just like people thought for decades that a little asian discrimination was a small price to pay for racial justice, this temporary disruption in research is a small price to pay for eliminating left wing racial discrimination.

You don't think state schools also practiced affirmative action? (Which was, by the way, legal under controlling Supreme Court precedent prior to the Harvard case.)

There is no stopping point.

Do you think Trump cares about Asians at all? Cautionary tale against racism? What kind of bubble do you live in? One that doesn't see the reality of what Trump is doing? It's sad to see how quickly things are unraveling and people stand by and cheer. Your narrow, misguided view is anathema to ideal you purport.

PP here. I have no idea what you are saying. I was responding to a prior poster who idiotically claimed that federal research dollars should be redirected from Harvard and its ilk (which should be shut down altogether) to state schools, since the latter have not been guilty of the supposed anti-Asian racism that supposedly characterizes Harvard's admissions practices. My point was that, on Trump's purported reasoning, all colleges should be defunded and shut down, not just the Ivy League. Nothing about his alleged rationale is limited to Harvard.

And no, I don't think that Trump cares in the slightest bit about Asians or racism. That is, quite obviously, pretext.

In my DD's class, more are impressed with schools like Harvard that fight than Columbia that caves.

I can also imagine how easily Harvard will be able to fund raise from alums (internationally and domestically) who are equally proud and want to see their alma mater fight back against this bully.

+100%

I'm an alum, along with my wife, and we plan to make an even bigger donation.

I'm an alum and I'm making my first donation today, as are many of my friends.

Great. They certainly dont need any federal funding with so much more donations now. More reasons why those funds should go to public universities.

They will be crawling back on all fours like the racist pig They are.
