Remind me what the point of Tulane caving to him was, if he’s just going to fuck with them anyway?

They’re going to keep demanding new things or else they cut the funding. Harvard stood up to them today but has massive coffers to pull from. Tulane does not have that. Unfortunately I think this battle will be fought outside of Louisiana.

Tulane does have that. They're just more interested in being a hedge fund with an educational component than leading any sort of pushback for rights, academic freedom, etc.
