If Trump actually could wrest Harvard’s nonprofit status from it, forget it becoming the Hillsdale of the East: Harvard will be the Devry University of the North!
Hillsdale is good, but to call it “elite” is a stretch.
“(Hillsdale) admitted women starting at its founding”
Impressive and courageous back then and it’s not reasonable to blame them for what it ultimately led up to - that being the end of White Civilization.
Both of my daughters went to Hillsdale over 25 years ago . They both turned out great and our still going strong.
Hillsdale is a great liberal arts college.
However, without Federal funding (NIH and NSF, mainly) it can never do world-class research!
For a history of NIH and NSF funding, see Vannevar Bush Science–the Endless Frontier, 1945.
Harvard, MIT, Stanford, etc. must save themselves from the foreign students who push support for Hamas and antisemitism. When I was an MIT undergraduate and a Harvard PhD candidate, there were few Third World students and no antisemitism. Our great universities can go back to what they once were!
