| Better than what was predicted late Sunday night. That was that Harvard would file for bankruptcy. Reason was most of the massive endowment was in non-public equities, hard to liquidate to replace the loss of Gov monies. It was mentioned that Penn, Princeton, Yale and Stanford had a similar problem. |
Alan Garber, 69, Harvard's president, accused President Trump's team of seeking ''unprecedented and improper control'' over campus affairs to keep the federal funds flowing.''These actions have stark real-life consequences for patients, students, faculty, staff, researchers, and the standing of American higher education in the world,'' Garber warned in a blistering statement.
''The consequences of the government's overreach will be severe and long-lasting.''
Earlier this month, the Trump administration's White House task force on antisemitism sent an April 11 email to Harvard University outlining a slew of demands that the prestigious school clamp down on antisemitism and end certain diversity and gender programs in favor of merit.
Those demands included steps such as establishing more merit-based hiring; ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs; reforming ''programs with egregious records of antisemitism and other bias;'' and stepping up admissions screening of international applicants to ''prevent admitting students hostile to the American values,'' including those ''supportive of terrorism or antisemitism.''
