These liberals just can’t grasp that now there is a reaction to your actions. Almost as if they’ve never experienced that in their lives. Oh wait….

I’m glad citizens are being forced to see that with US money, comes certain responsibilities and it’s been said repeatedly.. they’ve got over 50 billion reasons they can simply not take our money.. the simple fact that they won’t do that and will sue shows how greedy and elite they really feel

there is no such thing as better representation in congress. it just has to go its a rotten entity. Anyone who is put into that box will turn rotten



I disagree. I believe what I see. What I saw was that our votes do matter when Trump was elected, despite people saying similar to what your saying now.
Don't get me wrong, I understand your disgust and share it, but to adopt a loser attitude damn sure won't help the situation. We should be reminding everyone around us that we have the power to take back control of our government and its our duty to vote for better congressional representation. Trump is paving the way, but its going to take more rhan him.

I was promised Epstein arrests, Russiagate justice, and a deep state museum, but I all I got was administration shakedowns of foreign students and universities for our greatest ally.

Government overreach at its best.

How does the government not already know what students have visas at Harvard??!?

it was real estate seminars. Jesus, you people love to opine from a place of complete ignorance.

Harvard is breaking the law, discriminating, and thumbing their nose at the Supreme Court. They absolutely can lose their tax exempt status by doing that.

Trump has made yall cheer for discrimination. What a bunch of idiots.

Students accepting federal financial aid equals the university receiving federal funds.

I've not really kept up with this one. Don't need a ton of detail, but roughly what did they do originally and what did they do to ignore USSC?

We want the federal government digging into students disciplinary records at a private institution?

Trump may have the best intentions but he's growing the government at record pace

I'm ready for the downvotes, but both public and private universities should be able to apply for research grants that the federal government offers and they qualify for. They key is to write the qualifications so that they reward open research and not research that is modeled to get desired results.

If I remember correctly, an Asian sued because the average required test scores for Asians is significantly higher than blacks, and won. The Ivy's manipulated their requirements to get the same results.

What are you talking about? That’s not what the IRS is doing.

Harvard is officially a private university and should not be receiving government funding at all.
According to Grok A.I., the top 15 universities receiving Federal funding for research and development programs (many of these lead to a lot of the technology gains made in defense, medicine, energy, fusion, space systems, and life sciences) is $56.122 billion over the years of 2020 - 2024.

That's just 15 schools. Here they are, and the federal dollars each has received by year, with the first set of numbers being the year 2020 and the last number for each being the five-year total for each one.
*(in million$)

Johns Hopkins University: 1,839 + 1,950 + 2,056 + 2,100 + 2,150 = 9,095

University of Washington: 950 + 960 + 1,000 + 1,050 + 1,100 = 5,060

University of Michigan: 850 + 1,000 + 1,050 + 1,100 + 1,150 = 5,150

University of California, San Diego: 780 + 800 + 850 + 900 + 950 = 4,280

University of California, San Francisco: 686 + 700 + 750 + 800 + 850 = 3,786

Harvard University: 600 + 625 + 650 + 675 + 700 = 3,250

Stanford University: 580 + 600 + 620 + 650 + 680 = 3,130

University of Pittsburgh: 570 + 580 + 600 + 620 + 650 = 3,020

Duke University: 550 + 562 + 580 + 600 + 620 = 2,912

Massachusetts Institute of Technology: 520 + 550 + 570 + 600 + 630 = 2,870

University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill: 500 + 542 + 600 + 907 + 950 = 3,499

University of California, Los Angeles: 490 + 510 + 530 + 550 + 570 = 2,650

Columbia University: 470 + 480 + 500 + 520 + 540 = 2,510

Yale University: 460 + 480 + 500 + 520 + 540 = 2,500

University of Maryland (incl. Baltimore & College Park): 450 + 460 + 480 + 500 + 520 = 2,410

I wonder how much money, in total, is spent every year on R&D grants to the entire system of universities in the USA? This is just the top 15.

I asked about LSU. The answer?

The estimated federal funding for research and development received by Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge from 2020 to 2024 is approximately $645 million.
