Jonathan Turley Says Trump Admin ‘Going To Prevail’ In Legal ‘War Of Attrition’ Against Harvard
Daily Caller ^ | May 29, 2025 | Harold Hutchison

Posted on 05/29/2025 5:05:43 PM PDT by T Ruth

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley predicted that Harvard University would eventually lose its legal battles with the Trump administration Thursday on “Fox and Friends.”

Secretary of Education Linda McMahon announced May 6 that Harvard would not receive future grants, saying the Ivy League university displayed a “systemic pattern of violating federal law,” citing its failure to address the antisemitic harassment and its efforts to continue using race as a factor for admissions. Turley said the sheer number of actions taken by the university would eventually allow the Trump administration to “prevail.” ...

The Department of Homeland Security terminated Harvard University’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification May 22, citing the Ivy League school’s failure to address antisemitism and its failure to provide accurate data on funds from foreign sources.

“I think that the administration is going to prevail on much of this, if not all of it,” Turley added. “I have been critical of some of the moves of the administration towards Harvard. But, the administration does have discretion in these areas on grants. They have discretion on granting these visas, but more importantly this is a war of attrition and in that war, Harvard could win a lot of these court cases and still lose. They are not in a good position to go toe-to-toe with the administration over the next three years when they’re being drained of these resources.”

***

The Trump administration is also moving to end all contracts with Harvard as of Tuesday. A letter from the General Services Administration pointed to ongoing issues with antisemitism and race-based policies on campus as grounds for terminating grants and federal contracts.

Fail Harvard! We join in thy Jubilee throng
And with blessings surrender thee o'er
By these Festival-rites, from the Age that is past
To the Age that is waiting before
Farewell! Be thy destruction onward and bright!

Harvard does realize that future funding of anything from mouse fart emissions studies to cancer research is not going to be funded in future years if they continue, right?

I've never seen such stupid! I guess they attended Harvard and then got work there, because they seem to think the world is theirs to pillage and grift from straight out of their own echo chamber.

2025, the year fatigue came crashing into the conversation about nothing useful for $400K and some jew hating retreats.

I learned that whatever Judge Nappy says is almost always wrong. There is probably a reason you never see him on tv anymore.

Last I read the Constitution the word “education” is not in it. Not a flippin’ dime of taxpayer federal dollars should go to these schools, let the perspectives states worry about it. It is pure redistribution of our wealth. And debt.

He’s making the claim that ‘even though congress allows the president to enact tariffs’ he must ‘have congress approve it’ and claims that it was ‘illegal for congress to give him the power, because only they have the power to tax’ (he was on again tonight- making the same wrong arguments-)

Yup- he sure does- Even liberal lawyers like Turley and Derschowitz aren’t as TDS as Napoliwrongo is, and they are usually right (Though they can be way off at times too- but Napo is often wrong)

"Last I read the Constitution the word “education” is not in it."

IIRC, it was John Conyers who opined that it fell under the Good and Plenty clause.

Newsmax is the only station we watch any more. On DirecTV it’s channel 349.

No DirectTv here. I have enough diversions without seeking out more.

I care less about victory at Harvard than I do about tariffs, deportations, DEI, trans insanity, etc.

It’s time to close Harvard down and send those maggots somewhere else to be programmed and brainwashed.
