Why is the public forced to subsidize politically biased institutions?

No one was "forced" to do anything liar.
Congress choose to approve these grants.
YOUR representatives in Congress that YOU had the opportunity to vote for (or against) passed a law.
"A grant is a grant. We don't have to give grants. So we'll pull back the grants," Trump said during a Cabinet meeting after Noem relayed the news.
A grant is NOT just a grant. A grant is an appropriation from Congress. A grant that is appropriated by Congress is the law. Withholding funds appropriated by Congress is against the law.
The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 provides that the president may propose rescission of specific funds, but that rescission must be approved by both the House of Representatives and Senate within 45 days. In effect, the requirement removed the impoundment power, since Congress is not required to vote on the rescission and, in fact, has ignored the vast majority of presidential requests.
I am not a lawyer but seems to me in 45 days the monies Trumpy has attempted to illegally impound will be fully have to be fully restored. Unless Congress votes to approve the impoundments.
If this is correct I predict Harvard will prevail.
"Just another reminder when the dem party's polls are in hte toilet:"
As they should be after one of the greatest political defeats in history.
But maybe you can explain to the class why Trumpy's poll numbers for his (2nd) 1st 100 days are the worst in American history after the greatest comeback in American history.
