How you know Harvard is gonna lose

Boston Globe: "Will Harvard win its legal battle against the Trump administration?"
Laurence Tribe, a law professor emeritus at Harvard, said he’s confident the university would prevail before the Supreme Court.
Tribe is like the Jim Cramer of the legal world: if he says one thing, the opposite is true.

While the courts may chip away at Trump’s offensive, the president has multiple funding spigots over which he has near plenary discretion. Harvard, Columbia, and others have few pressure points other than the courts, which have already, in the case of Harvard, slapped down some of its discriminatory programs.

Accordingly, they should, and likely will, soon come to the table.
Demanding federal funding while sitting on a $53 billion endowment is the height of entitlement.
