This thread features in this week's CUK newsletter! I wonder how such things are selected, considering it's not exactly a hotbed of discussion!

They are, which is why I think they are willing to take the risk.

Colombia University bent over and still got shafted, so there's no incentive to even contemplate what's being asked of them.

I see now that the IRS are seeing if they can remove the charitable tax-exempt status because Trump says Harvard is a political entity. And DHS is looking at how to stop them from enrolling foreign students.

Basically, the Trump administration sent a list of demands to Harvard and Harvard said "nope". Stand off ensues. $2.2bn of federal funding at stake.
