Trump vs Universities

[ll74]

Correct. The university is not starving and massive amounts of private and public money is continuing to spent on research.

How much money is being spent on research?

 

[Rightguide]

Harvard is a private university that gets boatloads of public funding. Going fully private is an option they might be considering.

Naivete is that dazzling superpower that lets you walk through a minefield with a blindfold and a grin, convinced the loud ticking is just your lucky watch. It's not innocence, it’s intellectual negligence dressed up as wide-eyed wonder. MR doesn't know that naivete doesn’t make you pure, it makes you lunch. So, go ahead BB and chow down.

Why do you support the Trump administration’s attempts to seize control of a private university?

Because they are not acting in the national interest and obeying federal law.

The New York Times first reported the GSA’s letter.

“As you know, being a counterparty with the federal government comes with the deep responsibility and commitment to abide by all federal laws and ensure the safeguarding of taxpayer money,” the letter said.

“As fiduciaries to the taxpayer, the government has a duty to ensure that procurement dollars are directed to vendors and contractors who promote and champion principles of nondiscrimination and the national interest.”

I'm just proud that you're not choking on Trump's micropenis

Why do you hate the First Amendment? Why don't you have a sense of humor? I'd ask why your butt hurts, but I already know, sitting on your ego all day must be exhausting.

I was referring to America's national interests, not yours.

I enjoy how you believe critics of the President's actions are defending Harvard.

The GSA’s letter was nonsense trying to justify Trump’s attempt to take control of the university.

Harvard Strips Tenure From HBS Superstar Prof Francesca Gino​

Francesca Gino at Harvard Business School

Francesca Gino has lost tenure protection at Harvard

For what many believe is the first time in its long history, Harvard University has stripped a one-time superstar professor at Harvard Business School of tenure.

The decision, announced in a closed-door meeting with business faculty this past week, officially puts to an end Gino’s lifetime employment protections at HBS. Tenure revocation represents the most severe discipline a university can impose.

An award-winning behavioral scientist at Harvard Business School, Gino was first accused of fabricating data by Data Colada in July of 2021 when authors of the blog approached Harvard Business School with their allegations. According to her lawsuit, Dean Datar negotiated a secret agreement with Data Colada, putting off the publication of their posts until HBS had the opportunity to investigate the claims. After an 18-month-long investigation by a three-person committee of former and current HBS professors, the panel concluded that Gino was responsible for research misconduct. Dean Datar accepted the committee’s verdict and suggested punishment on June 13th of this year. Gino has maintained her innocence throughout, raising questions about the fairness of the process as well as the harshness of the penalties imposed on her.

For Gino, the university decision is a potentially career ending decision unless she can provide evidence that the data at issue was not intentionally falsified. Even if she is able to accomplish her innocence in her $25 million lawsuit against Harvard, this is a huge hit to her career and reputation.

They're educating students and conducting research. That's in the national interest. To find a university not serving the national interest you have to look pretty far afield -- as far as, say, Liberty University or Patrick Henry College.

A Life-Changing Scientific Study Ended by the Trump Administration​

Bill Ackerman on Harvard:

<snip>

Bill Ackman (NOT "Ackerman") is one of the worst Americans alive today.

In some respects, he is worse than Trump.

He has worked tirelessly to revise and expand the definition of "antisemitism" to include "anything and everything that might make a Jew feel uncomfortable". He's carved out an increasingly large hole in the First Amendment, and don't think evangelical Christians haven't noticed and want a piece of that gravy train as well.

If your local mall declines to offer your grandchildren the opportunity to get a photo with Santa Claus this coming December, blame Ackman.

The presence of Santa at the mall makes some Jews uncomfortable.

Ergo, Antisemitism.

Trump talks about "the war on Christmas".

Bill Ackman IS "the war on Christmas".

You didn’t answer the question. Why do you support the Trump administration’s attempts to seize control of a private university?

It’s a stupid question based on a false premise.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

How much money is being spent on research?

Close to a $ trillion.

MR thinks the administration is trying to “seize control” of Harvard.

That was three years ago and doesn't include any cuts from this year.

Maybe look at the article I posted which is up to date

The source is the National Center for Science and Engineering citing actual spending at $789 billion in 2021 and projecting $886 billion in 2022. If you have a more recent figure you’re welcome to share it but we both know that it’s close to or more than a trillion in 2023, 24, and 25.

It’s remarkable how MAGA sheep refuse to answer a simple question about the Trump administration.

The question isn’t based on a false premise. Look at the letter to Harvard. The government demanded control over hiring and the curriculum.

It is not a false premise. The administration is trying to seize control of a private university.
