Harvard University said on Monday that it had rejected policy changes requested by the Trump administration that would have placed “unprecedented” demands on the institution, setting up a showdown between the administration and the nation’s wealthiest university.
A letter to Harvard from the Trump administration on Friday demanded that the university reduce the power of students and faculty members over the university’s affairs; report foreign students who commit conduct violations immediately to federal authorities; and bring in an outside party to ensure that each academic department is “viewpoint diverse,” among other steps.
I am happy. $2 Billion saved. Harvard can march for Hamas terrorists /rapists and against American Jews all it wants. Free speech, just not with my money.
Decades ago, I watched a documentary on TV that touched on product quality, and labor/management relations. I remember one factory worker at Firestone telling what happened when he had an idea that could improve quality or productivity, and he took it to management. Management told him “some are here to think. some are here to work. you are here to work”. As we know Firestone was being run into the ground, until Bridgestone, in Japan, bought it.
Intersting there are between six and seven votes on the court for Harvard. Four grads and one liberal out of Yale, plus one or two more out of Yale that won’t support Trump.
“Perhaps Harvard should lose its Tax Exempt Status and be Taxed as a Political Entity if it keeps pushing political, ideological, and terrorist inspired/supporting ‘Sickness?’” Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social on Tuesday morning. “Remember, Tax Exempt Status is totally contingent on acting in the PUBLIC INTEREST!”
There is precedent involving the Bob Jones University (how many decades has it been since you heard that name?) back in the early '80s that went all the way to the Supreme Court.
BJU had a policy against inter-racial dating and, because it received no Federal funding, thought there was no leverage against the university. The IRS revoked BJU’s tax-exempt status, and the Supreme Court upheld the IRS, 8-1.
Must not burden the “right” churches Did you hear about the religious events at the WH?
On Palm Sunday, the president is expected to issue a presidential Easter proclamation that will speak directly to Christians as Holy Week begins and maintain his commitment to defend the Christian faith in schools, in the military, in workplaces, hospitals, in government and beyond.
