Trump Targets Billions in Funding to Harvard

An antisemitism task force will review $8.7 billion in multiyear grants and $255 million in contracts with the university and its affiliates.

Comments

"The Trump administration will scrutinize billions of dollars in federal funding to Harvard University, according to an announcement Monday by multiple federal agencies, another escalation in the administration's aggressive efforts to force change at prominent universities that had been divided by protests over the Israel-Gaza war.

The Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism, recently formed by the administration to address complaints of discrimination on college campuses, will review the more than $255 million in contracts between the federal government, Harvard and its affiliates.

And it will look at more than $8.7 billion in multiyear grant commitments to Harvard and its affiliates to ensure the school is in compliance with federal regulations, the announcement from the departments of Health and Human Services, Education, and the U.S. General Services Administration said.

Harvard affiliates include local hospitals whose physicians teach at Harvard Medical School."

So... no more brown doctors at Hawvawd.

Trump is a racist POS. This is a war of virtue signaling.

The "antisemitism" task force is a Neo McCarthyism type of repression where everyone is invited to INFORM on each other.

It's Israel making Americans their Bitch.

How supportive each college is and how intolerant of any criticism of Israel or it's PUBLIC MURDERS they are.

They're being graded by their betters on this.

Voltaire wrote that ",You know who rules over you by who you can't criticize".

Americans can't criticize Israel or they're "AntiSemites.

---- That....

Is this the rancid orange pedo's strategy to get Trump U into the Ivy League?

Good, cut them off. My kids will never go to haaa-vad so rightfully I should pay the richers nothing from my taxes.

Good, cut them off. My kids will never go to haaa-vad ...

Based on your obvious lack of intellect it isn't surprising they wouldn't qualify for admission.

Meanwhile in Lower Manhattan, a certain gangly autistic freshman has been told he can stay home from classes and will receive an honorary degree in "technology' from NYU in a couple of days. It will come to him via US Mail...

NEVER have I seen such a president hell-bent on both kowtowing to Israel and only acting on revenge.

Like many others I believe universities need to be unbiased and apolitical and that universities, not taxpayers, need to have the major stake in their own funding and viability of courses and curricula and they need to teach to the markets.

"Like many others I believe universities need to be unbiased"

Finish the sentence.

Republicans believe universities need to be unbiased towards the truth.

An antisemitism task force?

They should start with the Trump administration.

Unbiased as in "Teach only the stuff I believe in!"

Teach to the market means we end up with 100,000,000 business educated middle managers and no scientists. Sorry, middle managers get paid more.

This is about allowing anti-semitism to become so rampant that Jewish students are targeted for harassment and worse by other students while those in charge of the school, at best, sit idly by and allow it to happen.

Columbia faced a similar target and they ended up relenting (we'll see if they actually follow through) on this issue.

If you define the color red with the word "red", the number of colors that fall in the category of being red is understandably quite limited.
However, if you redefine the word red and have the new definition also include colors that aren't really red, but are somewhat close to red or have a small amount of red in them (like pink or orange or purple), the number of colors that red defines increases considerably.

The same thing happens when you redefine the word "antisemitism" to include words or actions use to rightfully condemn an ongoing genocide by a psychopathic, ethno-supremacist state. Of course the "instances" of antisemitism will rise-- because you just redefined the term.

The word "terrorism" is has also been redefined many times. It now seems to include anyone that has anything critical to say about the murderous state of Israel or its pernicious ideology. No doubt, it will increase more in order to allow the government and Zionist supporters to harass, oppress and murder the growing number of people (both in the US and in the world) who have finally opened their eyes to the evil ideologies that are Zionism and Christian Nationalism.

It's always been rampant like that for Jews.
Ask the ADL. They will confirm that Jews are the biggest victims the planet has ever witnessed. Coincidentally, they will also confirm it wasn't a Nazi Salute.
