Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

This is what I think is going on in terms of two way 2024 house vote.

If 18 year old white men were a a state their closest analog in terms of partisan lean would be Wyoming.
To be clear 18 year's of all race/genders have gotten more conservative though: non-white men have moved the most to the right, white women have moved the least.
