Harvard believes it has a right — apparently a divine right — to the $2.2 billion that it has been receiving in federal funds and that the administration has now put on hold. The federal government disagrees; it has put two conditions on Harvard continuing to receive that money: first, that the university provide information […]
Harvard Should Emulate Hillsdale College, Reject Federal Money
Harvard has until recently been receiving $2.2 billion in federal funding, largely for research grants for medical research. The Trump administration has now withheld that amount, and promises it will continue to withhold that sum as long as Harvard does not explain how it is now, and how it intends in the future, to protect […]
Northwestern Shows Harvard the Way Forward
While Harvard has chosen to defy the Trump administration’s request that it strengthen its policies to better protect Jewish students from antisemitism on its campus, and to end its DEI program, Northwestern had no desire nor need to defy the government, because it had implemented, before any intervention or pressure from Washington, precisely the policies […]
Harvard Severs Its Partnership with Antisemitic ‘Palestinian’ Birzeit University
Birzeit is the Palestinian “university” located just outside Ramallah. It’s a pretty crappy school, 1,956th in the world ranking of universities, but if you are an American university and want to show your support for the oppressed Palestinian people, lending your prestige to the school is an easy way to do it. Birzeit is a […]
Trump Lays Down the Law on Antisemitism in Universities
In Trump’s first term, Jews were declared to be a minority group protected by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.

Good Grief: Universities Give Students Milk and Cookies, Cancel Classes Over Trump Victory
New in PJ Media: Leftists the world over are in tears and hysterics over Donald Trump’s historic victory on Tuesday, but nowhere are they more desolate and depressed these days than on America’s college and university campuses. Students are at an age when passions run high, and as our institutions of higher learning are now […]
A World of Woe for Universities That are Not Doing Enough to Fight Campus Antisemitism
Steve Scalise is the House Majority Leader, which makes him one of the most powerful men in the American government. And he is not happy with a number of American universities, including Harvard, Columbia, and the University of Pennsylvania, that in his view have failed to address the antisemitism that is now rampant on their […]
Fight Fiercely, Harvard?
The beginning of college used to be marked by parents helping their children unload their stuff from the back of station wagons and carrying those suitcases, that futon, that stand-alone lamp, that print of Picasso’s peace dove or Don Quixote, or Avedon’s photographs of the Beatles, into the waiting dormitories, after which both parents and […]
Harvard’s Antisemitism Problem: ‘A Campaign of Deception and Spin’
“Fight fiercely, Harvard! Fight, fight, fight. Demonstrate to us your skill.” Yes, show the world in your testimony before Congress of your skill at the Lie Direct, and the Lie Circumstantial, and the Reply Churlish. For the saga of deception and spin by Harvard continues. More on the degringolade along the Charles can be found […]
