Cowing Harvard - one of the world’s greatest universities - would mark a pivotal victory for the dictatorship taking shape before our eyes. Dictatorships derive their power from the submission of a society’s key institutions. That’s what’s at stake here.

  Who responds to polls? Old people, people with an ideological motive, and people who get paid. They mean almost nothing.

  Where did you get those numbers? That's a little inflated by what pew gathered. https://www.pewresearch.org/race-and-ethnicity/2025/03/26/americans-views-of-deportations/ https://www.pewresearch.org/race-and-ethnicity/2025/03/26/am...

      I have read lots of your comments over the years and you've had some great contributions, but I don't think this is one of them. What figure from the link supports your comment? 74% support deporting immigrants who are here illegally and have committed crimes. That's a bit different than what you initially said

      That poll has 74% support for "Deporting immigrants who are here illegally and have committed crimes". It does not ask about "Trump's Deportations". I support deporting criminal immigrants. I even support deporting those with no criminal record who are here illegally (with some caveats). I don't support sending innocent people to brutal slave labor in a country not their own. Supporting "Deporting immigrants who are here illegally and have committed crimes" is not the same as supporting "Trump's Deportations".

    That’s a very big claim. What evidence do you have of that happening?

    This never happened, of course. On the single occurrence of it happening at UCLA, it was covered extensively.

  If this is for science it's cutting off the nose to spite the face: the scientists are the ones that need the billions that are getting cut off and who are shutting down their labs right now. The humanities people have miniscule research budgets: they maybe need a couple grand to travel to an archive from time to time and that's about it.

  Ah yes, Harvard Business and Harvard Law, classic STEM institutions.

Speak for yourself. From a hiring standpoint, having gone to Harvard is a massive red flag.
