The problem is that the mask is off. They have never cared about the rules, they’ve never cared about the law - it’s always been in bad faith. Now we are in a time of strong men, and anything the strong man says is reality.
These “strongman” are pathetically weak. As soon as Harvard stood up to them they folded like a wet paper bag.
Fear is their weapon. Deny them that and its been proven that they can be beaten. Maybe not easily or without difficulty, but victory is entirely possible.
Would love to see more institutions of higher education follow Harvard’s lead. At least here in the northeast, education is one of the largest employers. Despite how much government money plays a part in their operation, I feel like major universities are in a good position to start making demands and assert their autonomy given the resources at their disposal.
This also means states should work on filling the void left by federal funding for their educational institutions , which in large part is already done but could be taken further to ensure that they do not need to be accountable to the madman in Washington.
Truth out is usually pretty solid, but a lot of the sources seem to be either working with information they aren’t sharing, or are making leaps of logic. This could either be Harvard quietly dismantling their DEI program… Or massively expanding it.

He wouldn’t be strong with a bullet in his face. Here’s to hoping.
Isn’t it “good times create weak men”? Which aligns with what we see. They aren’t strong, just in positions of authority.

Not looking like Harvard is a good example. I’ve seen into that they quietly capitulated after all.
Source, because that just sounds like a load of MAGA cope.
This story is what info about that seems to come from. I haven’t looked into the legitimacy of it.
