Trump Blocks Harvard From New Federal Grants

[Swordsmyth]

Harvard University will no longer be eligible for government grants, the White House informed the acclaimed scandal-plagued, institution on May 5. Trump's Education Secretary Linda McMahon sent a letter to Harvard President Alan Garber on Monday night to inform the university that it is not eligible for federal grants until it makes significant changes to its management, the official said.

The letter cites low public confidence in higher education, Harvard’s continued racial profiling, and takes issue with the virtually untaxed status of Harvard’s significant financial endowment.

"Perhaps most alarmingly, Harvard has failed to abide by the United States Supreme Court's ruling demanding that it end its racial preferencing, and continues to engage in ugly racism in its undergraduate and graduate schools, and even within the Harvard Law Review itself. Our universities should be bastions of merit that reward and celebrate excellence and achievement. They should not be incubators of discrimination that encourage resentment and instill grievance and racism into our wonderful young Americans", McMahon wrote, before advising the university to no longer seek Federal grants, "since none will be provided."

"The above concerns are only a fraction of the long list of Harvard's consistent violations of its own legal duties. Given these and other concerning allegations, this letter is to inform you that Harvard should no longer seek GRANTS from the federal government, since none will be provided. Harvard will cease to be a publicly funded institution, and can instead operate as a privately-funded institution, drawing on its colossal endowment, and raising money from its large base of wealthy alumni. You have an approximately $53 Billion head start, much of which was made possible by the fact that you are living within the walls of, and benefiting from, the prosperity secured by the United States of America and its free-market system you teach your students to despise."

On Friday, President Trump threatened to go after Harvard’s tax-exempt status: “We are going to be taking away Harvard’s Tax Exempt Status. It’s what they deserve!” he wrote in a social media post.

Good. Their endowment is in the black, the fedgov is in the red.

Why single out Harvard? I thought you promised us Trump would end all if it, and the ED too.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Trump is getting rid of it all, but he's going after the worst first to highlight the problem and sway public opinion.

Trump is getting rid of it all...

Your track record of predicting the future us still zero percent, so that statement doesn't bode well.

Trump administration officially finds Harvard in VIOLATION of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which bans discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin...

...and ALL federal funding may now be canceled.

FAFO!

Harmeet Dhillon is laying down the hammer.

Like all federal funding for Planned Parenthood and genital mutilation of teens has ended?

Oh, wait. The BBB Funds Both, and Trump is Threatening to Primary any Member of his Own Party who doesn't Vote For It!

Trump is already stopping funding for those.

Trump is all for "planned parenthood" in Gaza where he kills babies and there's a lot of teen mutilation going on there also.

He's Hounding the Few Members of Congress who are Voting No!

Aren't republicans supposed to be for tax exemption???

Oh wait, that was the yesterday ones. Not the Overton window ones where they believe in "fair share" these days. It's almost like one of those bones that are really Bait and Switch.

No, they are not.
Not for traitors and subversives.

Republicans are for low taxes in general.

Only a commie would want Harvard to continue be tax exempt.

I want all taxes eliminated. Only a fascist big-gov supporter would not want Harvard, or me, to be tax exempt.

Low taxes "in general". Bait and Switch

This is 100% about allowing anti Izraeli protests.

Only a fool or a wolf in sheeps clothing would claim anarchy is possible and that anything else is communism.

You are just supporting the communist takeover by pretending to be an anarchist again, like you always do.
