Which is interesting, right? Because I think in this moment, this week, a lot of people are saying Harvard stood up to Trump. But what you're saying is this was a process in which they initially were placating Trump. So do we know... Where this break came from? Did Trump and company push too hard?

Yeah, let's leave Cambridge for a second and talk about what's transpired at other East Coast elite universities, Ivy League or otherwise. Let's start with Columbia because I think that's maybe the most important case.

So I think the average person out there might struggle to understand why an elite university with $15 billion in an endowment and who knows what in real estate holdings would have to cave so gravely to the Trump administration, to have the Trump administration be making administrative decisions and at their university.
