Also, this "Harvard has no choice" excuse is bogus. We heard this in 2025 re: Cornell. (turns out the federal funding freeze $ amt was overblown)
Harvard was successful in its lawsuits re: funding. And there are intelligent people there who can figure out how to navigate federal funding disruptions.

All university leaders must join with Harvard's stance of resistance. People everywhere: please push your alma mater's leaders to do so.
We hear Princeton's leadership is pretty good on this front. Cornell's...not so much. And we are letting them know that such cowardice is not acceptable to us.

We at Cornell Courage stand in solidarity w/Crimson Courage, who've urged Harvard's leaders not to capitulate.
A main pressure tactic of Trump admin has been to launch unfounded investigations etc
We trust that Harvard won't do what Cornell's current leaders did, which was to get scared and cave.

The NY Times reported that Trump was backing off from his $200M fine. Trump saw the report and had a tantrum: he is now threatening Harvard with a capricious and baseless $1B fine and criminal charges. Read the whole sordid tale in this gift article from the Times.

Specifically, the task force found that Cornell should "speak up" for the right thing, basically. And this includes our nation's democratic system and the rule of law, because Cornell can't fulfill its mission without those.
