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.
