you really hate to hand it to em but Harvard figured out this is a repeated game www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/u...

It came after leaders at Harvard, during intense discussions over the weekend, determined that what the government was proposing represented a profound threat to the 388-year-old university’s independence and mission.

Harvard has extraordinary financial and political firepower for a clash with Washington. And the university’s leaders watched Columbia University reel, as the Trump administration made more demands, even after the school capitulated.

Harvard would fight. The alternative seemed far worse.

Sorry world. We have millions of idiots in America who don’t recognize the Republican Party is a Putin-aligned transnational crime syndicate chock full of rapists, wife beaters, substance abusers, psychopaths, billionaires, and a demented figurehead.
