Ivy League schools face a multi-million dollar dip in funding after being blasted for failing to condemn Hamas' terrorist attacks against Israel.

Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania have been hit hardest by the backlash – with a host of alumni calling on the colleges to do better as some revoke their funding entirely.

Nobody should give those viper’s nests another damn dime.
Satanic Marxists have taken over these formerly American institutions. We all sat around and just watched it happen.

Time for some class action lawsuits to claw that money back.

But none of them apparently had a problem with the insane woke nonsense going on and being promoted at these schools...

These colleges have Billions in there endowment funds.

They could not get another penny in donations for the next 20 years and not suffer.

The only thing that is going to bother anyone is that college presidents are made and broken on the money they bring in.

It may have an effect on policy.

Massive money laundered to leftists’ agendas will probably make up for their losses due to their loyalty to satan.

These schools get Middle Eastern money.. Lots of royal families send their kids here.for college. It wouldn’t do for academia to bite the hand that feeds them.

U penn endowment...20b....Harvard endowment 50 b....

Harvard oper expense 2022 is 5.8 billion.

O.5 billion down ain’t touching these guys

opinion alert. The muzzies have probably physically threatened the college boards, either explicitly or implicitly with violence... IMHO...

That seems to be the message of the cencel culture...that violence will occur on campus, legislatures, judges homes, etc.would not be surprised if CAIR, etc...behind most of ot.....to soften everyone up for the upcoming coup...

Of course, the four living members of the Trump family who graduated from Penn (founded by Ben Franklin before the founding of the U.S.) probably cut their funding some time ago, when Penn denounced its only graduate in its history to have become President of the United States; but that was not considered newsworthy.

True

Which is why our colleges have classes that teach that Israelis are racist brutes. These classes are also why our young people are converting to Islam while Christians and Christianity are vilified.
