Do you ever look deeper than just listening to Fox News talking points and regurgitating them?

Do you believe the Federal Government should dictate what Universities teach? Would you agree if a Dem admin pulled a stunt like this? Imagine Joe Biden having done what Trumputin is attempting to do.
Joe don't even know what day it is...he's incapable of doing shit...

Well, Ritch, we are about to find this out. Although if this goes to the courts and they side with the University, your king will not abide by the law of the land, so who knows?

If you have trouble reading this article, please let me know and I will help you understand it.



ps...I had to remove your mug, it's quite telling. You really need to see a dentist about some dentures.

They do quite a bit of that in reality. Why should the Government care what a private university does? They don't interfere in Evangelical University curriculum, so why Harvard?
They should care if they're funding it 2B...they shouldn't if they are not.

A test for what...sure let's find out if the POTUS have any power when it comes to cutting federal funding...that's the simplest way...what is the difference in cutting USAID funding with University funding...I'm not saying this is a slamdunk but if there is federal funding...I'm pretty sure...an audit at least will be in order...yes yes?

P.S. I know you secretly like my handsome face...you just removed it because you can't resist it.

On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump's administration suffered a loss in court — this time, at the hands of one of his own appointed judges.

Politico legal correspondent Kyle Cheney tweeted Tuesday that U.S. District Judge Mary S. McElroy, who Trump appointed to the District of Rhode Island in 2019, authored a ruling that overruled his funding freeze for multiple federal agencies. In her 63-page ruling, McElroy granted a preliminary injunction in favor of a coalition of nonprofit organizations suing the Trump administration allowing them to have their funding turned back on while litigation plays out.



"The judiciary does not and cannot decide whether [Trump's] policies are sound," she wrote. "But where the federal courts are constitutionally required to weigh in — meaning we, by law, have no choice but to do so — are cases 'about the procedure' (or lack thereof) that the Government follows in trying to enact those policies."


McElroy said the plaintiffs correctly sued the administration under the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), under an argument that federal money already appropriated by Congress during former President Joe Biden's administration by law had to go to its designated payees. She noted that while "elections have consequences" and administrations have a right to implement their own policies, they don't have the right to shut off money after Congress put it in legislation that was signed into law.



"Agencies do not have unlimited authority to further a President’s agenda, nor do they have unfettered power to hamstring in perpetuity two statutes passed by Congress during the previous administration," she wrote.

The Trump-appointed judge additionally quoted Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, saying he "put it best" when he wrote: "Justice [Oliver Wendell] Holmes famously wrote that 'men must turn square corners when they deal with the Government.' But it is also true, particularly when so much is at stake, that the Government should turn square corners in dealing with the people."

"Here, the Government failed to do so," McElroy wrote in her ruling.

Topline
The California government will file a lawsuit Wednesday challenging President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on foreign imports, multiple outlets report, becoming the first state to mount a legal challenge against the tariffs as Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration argues Trump doesn’t have the authority to impose them.

Key Facts
Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta will file a lawsuit Wednesday in federal district court in California, multiple outlets report, which will allege Trump has unlawfully imposed tariffs that pose an “immediate and irreparable harm” to the state’s economy.


The lawsuit is the first legal challenge a state has brought against Trump’s sweeping tariffs, as Trump imposed a baseline 10% tax on most foreign goods, plus tariffs of at least 145% on many Chinese goods and separate tariffs on some imports from Canada and Mexico.

Medical funding is non political. The point is university is supposed to be the place where ideas are formed, debated, and placed through the intellectual crucible. But to cut funding based on this?

I can actually see cutting funding to some liberal arts course. Let the endowment pay for a few doctoral students to go there. But not real scientific research. Harvard Medical and science programs, along with most other ivy league and numerous state schools, all contribute to our greater understanding.

I believe the total funding for Harvard is close to 10B...IMO the 2B will be subjected to audit.

If there is room to eliminate some useless funding sure, priorities change, and Harvard is quite well off enough to dip into that massive endowment they have.

exactly so cutting 2B funding + endowment + borrowing another close to 1B from Wall street. this is nothing...they should audit internally and show the administration there is compliance and that 2B might be injectd back.
