Funding without accountability is finished.
The government just threatened to pull $3B in grants from Harvard, accusing the Ivy League titan of blocking reforms, suppressing dissent, and shielding foreign radicals. Trump’s move caps months of frozen funds, admissions restrictions, and a court battle over foreign student enrollment. With a $53B endowment, Harvard now faces a federal wall—and no more public money without compliance.
The old model—lavish tax-backed support in exchange for elitist defiance—is collapsing. Universities that reject transparency, enforce ideological monocultures, and ignore national security warnings will no longer be coddled. This is not censorship—it’s a necessary correction.
Public dollars should reward innovation, not arrogance. This marks the beginning of a funding realignment that prioritizes trade schools, transparency, and American values.
