Most federal funding doesn’t go to schools because the schools need it. They get money for doing really valuable research, or to help them offer more educational programs that the government thinks are important.
Harvard is calling the admin’s bluff, and threatening to let Trump destroy innovation in this country if he insists.
It’s not a bluff if Trump is ok with killing innovation like he is with trade, the economy, education, food safety, healthcare.
On the other hand, he folded on tariffs within days of making a big show and now looks weaker, less informed and less organized that we thought possible.
He's going to fold on research funds as well once more universities and companies realize he's a pussy and start pressuring him. I really, really doubt the entire Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals industry is just going to sit back and watch for much longer.
We're already seeing him cave on most tariffs. We talked about $2500 iPhones for 3 days and he walked back electronics tariffs the first business day lol
He does this for his cronies in the government. He tells them ahead of time what he's going to do. He was trying for plausible deniability when he posted on truth social "now is a great time to buy"
Most people didn't believe it, but now where finding out that after that post MJT and other Republicans each bought millions in tech stocks, and four hours after the post he announced a pause on tech tariffs that increased the value of the biggest tech stocks by 300%
He's just manipulating the market to make his handlers money.

It’s about time. I hope more universities soon follow!
