President Donald Trump is freezing more than $2bn (£1.5bn) in federal funds for Harvard because it would not make changes to its hiring, admissions and teaching practices that his administration said were key to fighting antisemitism on campus.
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’m sure that in the name of academic freedom, Harvard wouldn’t mind a nice, romantic torch light KKK rally.

Trump can withhold some funds but probably not all of them. Once again it depends on whether the funding was allocated via legislation or executive action.
What the people griping about his actions forget is that Harvard is not broke. Maybe they should spend their legal muscle on getting endowments freed from conditions which limit how the school is to use them.

Unlawful?
Note how he didn’t say illegal.
What is unlawful supposed to mean?

Why is Harvard, which has a HUGE endowment and private, being funded with taxpayer money?

"I wonder if Harvard’s endowment is invested into only slow growing ESG garbage."
I wonder if Mike and Barry ever donated a penny to Harvard since they, and their surrogate daughter Malaria are alumnus of that school.
