Harvard University been around some ~380 years. longer then the USA been the USA. it will survive the atrocities of the trump administration as well.

I'm starting to think that 60 years ago or so, a couple of Harvard students humiliated Trump, and he's never gotten over it.

It’s probably something like, he couldn’t get one or all of his kids into Harvard. Maybe he wanted to go but couldn’t get in. I’m sure if they accepted Baron, this would all disappear.

Rumor is that Barren didn't get in.

Bold move. Also BS. Can someone please explain what are the possible scenarios for Harvard University given that this aid is completely out?

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

Harvard is the oldest and richest university in the US. They can weather the storm. It will hurt but they can do it.

Harvard doesn't need outside income to cover operations of the school. Not even tuition. The government contracts cover expanded research and programs. The schools endowment grows enough to cover all their base costs and still grow annually.

Sounds like government contracts are out, boss. What’re we gonna do now?

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago

Harvard will have to find a pool of sympathetic lawyers to press their case in the courts. Wherever can the most prestigious college in the legal world for the past century, find a lawyer? And it'll have to be affordable, they only have $53 billion to work with.
