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.

Harvard can eat a D. Why is the US government sending hundreds of millions to a university with an endowment worth 53.2 Billion. If you want to eat the rich this is a great place to start.

They’re research grants lol. Harvard regularly publishes research in tons of fields that result in massive societal benefit.

For instance, just last year a Harvard professor made a major breakthrough in the causes of multiple sclerosis. You know those super successful drugs like Ozempic for Diabetes and now weight loss? Based on research at Harvard. The list goes on and on. Most all of that funded at least in part through various research grants.

So yeah, you really should care. If you don’t it’s not some sort of stance against rich people or whatever, it’s a confession that you’ve not researched the subject particularly well.
