I still remember they denied all those smart qualify Asian students because they wanted more diversity

[ShawnO]

The School is not independent if it is receiving billions in federal funding....

[garymorris]

What am I missing, why is our government giving such large sums of money to these private universities?

[cherylgartside]

Harvard gets plenty of money from their private donners. Our tax dollars are better used in more low income schools.

[pigboykool]

Yes, it is about time to stop the waste of tax money; Harvard is freaking rich with all their billionaire donators. They are fine without our hard earned money!

[concilium]

Good, they have fallen to the long march through the institutions. Time for some accountability.

[estellewhite-xmrx]

Why are we the people giving this institution our hard earned tax money ????
STOP GIVING THEM MY MONEY

[NYC--BKK]

I agree with the Trump admin here. Get rid of these Ivy League non-profit status and cut back any future grants. Let these schools use their billions in endowment money, and monies donated to them by their graduates.

[RobbieRobski]

There is zero reason a private university should get federal funding in the first place

[jimbeachsr]

If you are private then you do not need federal funding.

[dianehebert]

Harvard doesn't need taxpayers aid!

[caroldriehorst]

If the government is giving billions of dollars to any organization, then that government has the right to know where those funds are going. It doesn't matter if it's private or not. No complying, then no funds.

[gregj]

Harvard can stand up for whatever they want. Stop giving them money. The 2.2 billion or whatever it is.

[rickiewilson]

Then, harvard
go get your money, some place else. Why should our tax dollars pay for you havard

[icecoat]

Coo go ahead just don’t take government funding.. do it yourself Harvard

[randyrhyne]

About time. Our tax dollars should never have gone to a college. If a college can't sustain itself it probably shouldn't be in business. We have enough lawyers anyway.

[vitatang]

Why is the people supporting a multi billion $ universities? 🤦🏽‍♂️. Why not use that money to be in the social security or Medicare!

[Boltergeist]

I support Pvt schools doing what they want (within the law lol), just not at the expense of tax payers. Pretty simple logic.

[mselle]

Why does aid go to Harvard in the first place? Ridiculous like they need Aid give us a break! They think they can Decide what to teach yet they want cash from taxpayers 😂

[TriNguyen-thrc]

Why do government use our tax for this type of school ?
