I don't think it's as simple as this. To my knowledge, Dr. Sian Leah Beilock handled the protests of the past 2 years much better than their counterparts.
- alephnerd 1y agoOh easily! But the issue is Brian Ballard (their GOP lobbyist) stepped on a lot of feet and pissed people (primarily David Sacks) off, leading him to get metaphorically slapped by the Trump admin. So they're frozen out from K-Street in the medium term. On top of that, a couple extremely active and very wealthy alumni have continued to maintain a grudge and have an ear in the admin And finally, it's an easy anti-establishment win. Finally, this is specifically a Harvard College thing - the alumni of other schools at Harvard are much less... let's say idealistic.
