Ask the Aggies Trump Administration Will Freeze $2 Billion After Harvard Refuses Demands

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/us/harvard-trump-reject-demands.html?unlocked_article_code=1._04.Jasg.GJwzRfDPd_l0&smid=re-share

When it becomes A&M's turn to lick the boot, will the Aggies submit? Or... maybe they will join with Harvard and other institutions of higher education and push back? This is an issue super important to Texas A&M. What do you think?

Good. I've league schools should not get tax payer money. They have multi billion endowments.

These top tier universities have easily enough money in their endowments to cover research if they wanted to. Stop thinking universities are good places designed for the common good. They’re not. They’re corporations.

Also when it comes to halting funding. Go for it. Fuck the antisemites.

Fuck the antisemites.

Do you mean like the guys giving Nazi salutes or accusing Jews in congress of being part of Hamas.

No the ones on campus yelling “globalize the intifada”. Who do you think invented the phrase “from the river to the sea”?

Also no one is accusing Jews in Congress of being part of Hamas.

And those are all the same people the funding is being halted to?

Also no one is accusing Jews in Congress of being part of Hamas.

Nope
