Report: "Harvard refuses to comply"
"Harvard University has said it will not comply with a list of demands from the Trump administration that purport to crack down on anti-Semitism."
The refusal puts $9bn of federal grants & contracts on the line.
Harvard's president said the institution would “not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights”.
I'm pleasantly surprised by Harvard. I didn't expect them to resist.
I guess the collective brains there realised that complying with a bully doesn't make them go away, it encourages them to demand more and more.
Columbia however has been a disgrace.
that is an interesting possibility
who could be more powerful in the US than AIPAC aligned groups?
maybe there is hope?
understood
at this stage I think the only people who can get rid of Trump - and actually want to - are those whose wealth he's harming
kinda like how old money turned on the Liz-Truss era Tories
( imho )
meanwhile in the UK - our elite universities are taking legal action against legitimate and moral protest:

f** you Cambridge - I am ashamed of you (I was a student a long time ago)
You need me to tell you that genocide isn't ok?
The image was meant to reflect and emphasise Harvard's decision to stand up to the fascist US administration's orders.
It goes without saying that "what is right" in a given circumstance depends on the specific context.
