Trump’s actions against Harvard are 100% illegal. But he will ignore court rulings. [LINK] - Chris94 - 8:55am 4/17/25 (21) [View All]

    - If the issue is admissions and race, they likely do lose. That’s not though what the dear leader is - Frank L - 10:37am 4/17/25
    - Yep. Sadly, ND may get swept up in this. If so, bye bye "need based tuition". - LanceManion - 9:36am 4/17/25
      - Only greed could possibly justify this. The endowment is $20B. - jakers - 9:54am 4/17/25
        As someone who has a daughter trying to decide on whether to attend ND, I agree. - LanceManion - 12:19pm 4/17/25
        There was a general philosophy by the Administration when I was there. - jakers - 4:46pm 4/17/25
        I think the admin has opened up much more on the need side, but remains careful with "need" - LanceManion - 6:36pm 4/17/25

        Yeah, same for me - met the wife, provided a good living, etc. But it is the principle, dammit. [NT] - LanceManion - 3:55pm 4/17/25
