Harvard’s Performative Resistance

 Before the rush to declare that Harvard as the lone university aka White Knight in resisting the Trump’s agenda it is factually true that Harvard was already bending the knee and capitulating to Trump

‘Harvard moved to oust two leaders of its Center for Middle Eastern Studies, paused a partnership with a Palestinian university, then agreed to start one with an Israeli school.

Harvard was also not among the top universities listed as plaintiffs in court challenges to the Trump administration’s proposed changes to research-funding formulas.’ (NYT4-16-25)

So given these facts is Harvard now just engaging in negotiations and posturing ? Is this an act of reactionary performative art by Harvard and nothing 

Hmmm…
