The Trump administration has already permanently damaged Harvard

Harvard University is in crisis. The Trump administration has gone for the jugular, attempting to cut off the flow of federal funds. Perhaps most importantly, it has sought to cut this prestigious university off from its economic lifeblood: international students.

But this crisis is largely one of Harvard’s own making. It could have made an effort to avoid having a monolithically progressive campus culture that fostered savage behavior and terrorist sympathies in corners of the student body. It could have worked to ensure that it was not overly reliant on federal funding for its research endeavors and that the university’s financial stability was not contingent upon accepting thousands of international students who are willing to pay full tuition.

Is it known for anything beyond the manufacture of progressives assholes?
