Harvard vs Trump Administration

Harvard Law School should know better.

But alas Harvard has allowed their institution of higher learning to be overtaken by nothing less than foreign and domestic terrorists who obstruct certain students from attending classes, suffer threats and abuse and do so with impunity. Some students have taken Harvard to court over the school’s stance on being denied their first amendment rights to an education.

When the Department of Education threatened to take away $2.2B in federal funding for Harvard due directly to these obvious Title IX violations Harvard decided to take the DOE to court citing federal overreach and the unconstitutional withholding of federal funds, all this in spite of Harvard’s endowments of more than $53B.

I’m no lawyer but I do recall a number of Colleges and Universities who refuse to seek or accept federal funding in order to have full control of their school’s curriculum. Harvard wants the freedom to control their curriculum and act independently of Title IX guidelines AND CONTINUE to receive federal funding.

Sorry Harvard you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

It seems that Harvard has strayed far away from their founding principles and standards by allowing banners, flags and political protests in campus at the expense of student education.

Harvard claims the loss of federal funding will adversely affect extensive research projects. Well then ditch the political protests, cleanse the campus and focus on enhancement of student centered education without interruption (comply with Title IX).

It’s Harvard’s choice. – RTM
