Like I told Cannonpointer, I don't care if Trump cut off FEDERAL FUNDS to Ivy League Huge-Endowment scammer-institutions, like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, or even the highly esteemed East LA Community College. It's about F-ing time! I would not only cut off Harvard's funding, but I'd pass a law that revokes tax free status for college endowments, and allow them to be taxed at some reasonable rate.jerrab » Yesterday, 6:23 pm » wrote: ↑ Trump has the right to ask and insist anything he wants. After all, Trump is an American Citizen and as such unquestionably has the right to express himself and speak freely. However, I think if Trump threatens to withhold money to force a school or university to regulate speech, this would be a violation of the 1st Amendment and possibly even other laws. Now, if he threatens to withhold money to safeguard a religious group from violence on their campuses, I do not see this as regulation of free speech. Honestly, I'm not sure what it is or how it would be viewed from a Constitutional perspective. I'm open to reading intelligent opinions about this.////

trump has cut off funds colleges when students complain about israel bombing gaza, any student. not just ones on visas.
Fact: Harvard is and has always been a private college/university
Fact: Harvard has an endowment of $51,000,000,000. All of it accumulated tax-free. This is enough money to enroll over 1 Million Students annually free of charge. But, Harvard doesn't do that. It only has 20,000 students, and only 50% receive financial aid to reduce, or in rare cases eliminate tuition. That means that Harvard's endowment pays out less than $500,000,000 for student tuition every year. That's less than 0.1% of its endowment annually, which makes between 4%-12% annually on its investments.
Fact: **** Harvard. And, **** all of you whiny little bitches who complain about OUR TAX DOLLARS no longer going straight into Harvard's uber-wealthy coffers.
