Harvard is leader in medical research and the Federal Government provides grants. This research helps everyone in America and in the World !

This is shocking but we knew it was coming because unless everyone bows the knee to the whims of this dictator, everything is threatened and dismantled. Thank you Harvard for making a stand against this dictator.

Harvard will still be around for years. Trump wont....lol.

Students didn't produce meat, don't create food on gardens. There's to many eaters already, time for students to work, labor hard and make good for the rest of us here in usa . Don't let foreign students in, tired of students watching YouTube all day lazily not working hard making our pizzas for us to eat!

50 billion dollar university is tax exempted. 😒 🤔 No wonder I'm broke. 😢

They will fold, all they care about is money

Kind of shredding the 1st Amendment where opinions are not protected under Common Law and Case Law?

Kudos to Harvard for standing up to the convicted felon that is squatting in the White House

[Outlaw-Josey-Wales]

That's fine if Harvard doesn't want to cooperate with the government we cancel all Government funding how hard is that to understand

[savageinstitute]

Highest indirect rate of every research university in the US, getting rich off of us.

[jonathan_wood]

Since when Presidents have to tell Universities what to do and threaten them to shut down their institutions!! Strange times in America!!

[terricon]

This is Harvard... you think they cant find enough loopholes to avoid paying taxes even if you do that?
And while no fan of Harvard myself overall, still nice to have someone sticking up against the Trump administration, and definitely getting some positive publicity worldwide from this.

[shannonbennett]

"Eat the rich" ohhh not these rich people we just meant conservatives. 53 billion is enough for harvard

[geekworthy]

Explain how Harvard getting taxpayer money is any different than billionaires getting taxpayer money to build stadiums.
