These measures aim to force compliance with demands to eliminate DEI, which we already discussed, audit viewpoint diversity. I don't like that word much, viewpoint diversity, because it allows the progressives to maintain their claim that diversity should be one of the selection criteria for hiring instead of just merit.

and also the Trump administration is trying to force the universities to reform hiring and admissions. Harvard, under President Ellen Garber, we'll get back to him later, has resisted suing the administration in April 2025, I think that's lawfare, by the way, for violating its First Amendment rights and bypassing legal procedures. Yeah, well, perhaps.

Perhaps Harvard could just stop taking federal funding and they could do whatever the hell they wanted to. Garber argues that no government should dictate what universities teach higher research. That's pretty goddamn funny, I must say, after the Biden administration and its insistence that DEI, for example, be prioritized pretty much above all else. not only in teaching, hiring, and research.

So that's a complete bloody crock. And it's also the case that Harvard cravenly submitted to all the radical progressive demands that emanated, let's say, from the Biden administration. So that's just a non-starter as far as I'm concerned, at least on moral grounds. Who knows what will happen legally?

The lawsuit backed by faculty, yeah, we'll see why that is, and other universities marks Harvard as the first major institution to openly defy Trump's crackdown. Yeah, it's not exactly Trump's crackdown, which has also targeted Columbia. Huh, there's another institution that deserves to be. Well, let's start with defunded.

Yeah, that would be enough that everybody could attend to it and understand exactly what it's up to and just how bloody dangerous it is, and then defund it. Cornell, a billion dollars, and Northwestern, $790 million. Harvard's defiance is rooted in its massive endowment and prestige. Yes. Prestige, which it earned, by the way, first of all, by being like, what would you say?

It was the prime edifice for the transmission of somewhat hereditary autocratic rights down the generations till about 1960 or so, right? It was an upper class institution with relatively well socially positioned people. who weren't necessarily drawn from the upper echelons of the cognitive elite.
