Harvard squarely standing up to the Trump. Its lawyers to the regime: “The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government. Accordingly, Harvard will not accept the government’s terms as an agreement in principle. … Harvard is not prepared to agree to demands that go beyond the lawful authority of this or any administration.” Full letter in pics.

@heidilifeldman This is *not* a "principled stance". Harvard has the financial resources to *allow* it to tell Trump to go fuck himself. Harvard would be taking a principled stance if it were actually risking any significant losses by standing up to the Mad Emperor.

#Harvard HAS taken a principaled stance. Money is not the issue here. #Hur 's letter describes the First Amendment first and money second.
