Obama, a Harvard alum, described the freeze as "unlawful and ham-handed".
He called on other institutions to follow Harvard's lead in not conceding to Trump's demands.

I want to hear from that execrable Hussein as much as I want to hear from Carville.

I wonder if Harvard’s endowment is invested into only slow growing ESG garbage.

Hard to believe we were providing Harvard with any taxpayer dollars much less $2B. Outrageous. And now these leftists are complaining about stopping the gravy train?

And anyway, they have a 50 billion permanent endowment and have a huge number of well-heeled graduates. Why should some auto-mechanic at a Toyota dealer in Texas be forced to give them money?
How in the hell do they deserve government funding even if they do everything right?

What’s Obama’s cut if they get their funding back ?
Doesn’t this useless prick have a marriage to a wookie to repair??

Exactly!!! Why do they get tax exempt status? I actually did something for the government by serving in the military so I “deserve” tax exempt status more than Haaavard.

Harvard has billions of dollars in their endowment. Maybe they can scrape by without the federal money.
