No, no, no. You'd think a university would be capable of learning.

@jeffjarvis You’d think. Why can’t universities stand up to these fascists?
@jeffjarvis if you give the bully your lunch money one day they still hold you up for it again the next day.
@jeffjarvis @eilonwy Harvard is a pipeline for elites to elite positions. Research is a reputational boon they prefer tax payers finance and everyone knows it. The nebulous term ‘academic freedom’ is a charade whose purpose is to protect those in control, it’s never been about free speech or fairness. This is one huge sideshow that will have zero effect on the average American.
@jeffjarvis It is foolish to engage Trumpty in any negotiation. He is a liar and is completely untrustworthy. There are people one should simply ignore and not negotiate with. And Trump is at the top of that list.
@jeffjarvis
Maybe, but this Trump whisperer is not to be trusted.
@jeffjarvis Gee, Donald is a grifter!
@jeffjarvis
And here I thought this was a reputable law school that could spot extortion. Silly me.
@jeffjarvis I guess #Harvard wants to destroy its own reputation and be a #suckup to #fascism just like #Columbia now?
@jeffjarvis 500 mil buys a lot of lawyer hours, I know how I'd spend the money.
@jeffjarvis maybe they are lacking for good lawyers?
@jeffjarvis
and they will all find out eventually... but when you're a hedge fund that owns a university priorities can be confusing.

But they can all network in the gulag so that's cool.
