1st Amendment Rights Argument 

The rage from left leaning institutions of higher learning is that for the Trump Administration to cut off funding and/or to stop issuing student visas to their school is a violation of their 1st Amendment rights.

That argument came from the prestigious Harvard (where they teach law) in their lawsuit against the Trump Administration who argue they are unable to teach without government interference.

I seem to recall other institutions refuse government money for exactly the same reason.

It would appear that although these prestigious institutions have $B endowments that they use as they please, they still feel entitled to government funds yet don’t want to submit to government oversight. When students suffer due to institutional malfeasance or lack of corporate intestinal fortitude don’t blame the government, blame institutional leadership.

The blame clearly falls on the institutional leaders, faculty and staff for allowing this behavior in the first place. If they are unable to teach with funds they already have, then maybe they should obey the law they teach by not allowing indoctrination, intimidation, fear mongering and violence on their campuses or “see the light” and just resign?

Besides the Rights guaranteed by the US Constitution are for US Citizens, not institutions or government agencies. – RTM
