Why would Harvard actually care what Fox news thinks? Honest question.
- spaceseaman 9y agoWhat do you think most of their donors watch, practically exclusively? Gotta make sure Johnny's not going to one of those SJW / safe space / PC / ... colleges like Yale! They're trying to avoid being part of Fox's whole anti-University arc this season.
- Balgair 9y agoI was going to say something more 2015-ish, but with Donny's revealing of the wizard behind the curtain, yeah, you are right. Why do they care? I mean, they have enough cash in the bank to never let another student in for 200 years, and still be just fine. They have more good-will built up than anything else out there. They make advances in human knowledge comparable to almost nothing else besides another University. They have it all. So what could they want then? The only thing I can come up with is that they do think Fox would be correct in that assumption. They aren't worried about the money. Maybe they are worried about the woman herself and just are using the Fox stuff as cover? Nothing else really makes sense.
- anigbrowl 9y agoThe idea that sufficient resources mean you can just ignore politics has historically proven inaccurate.
- lucozade 9y agoThey don't want to be a negative target of DC. DC is currently Republican led and Republican politicians most definitely care what Fox news thinks. My guess is that the profs saw this as such a perfect shitstorm that, if it becomes a major story, DC would feel they have no choice but to do something about it.
