Trump & Co., are sick of the antics of the Ivies — their blatant disregard for the law by looking to consider race in admissions, the far left tilt of the professoriate, and of course their acceptance of blatant antisemitic protests that erupted in support of one of the most heinous crimes in history, the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of Israelis by Hamas. Trump wants all of the above to stop, and to make it happen he is now throttling federal funds, and threatening their tax-exempt status, while the GOP Congress takes aim at school endowments, those large piles of investable cash that go a long way in keeping their lights on. And if you understand the endowment system, along with the array of weapons Trump has at his disposal, you will also appreciate that Harvard has almost no choice in this battle but to capitulate just like Columbia, another hotbed of antisemitism after Oct. 7, which has announced a set of sweeping changes to campus life and curriculum.
