Looks like we'll have to hope Harvard can defeat the government in their case.

Otherwise college will turn into a PragerU indoctrination farm like public schools already are.

Their tuition is about $70k so this is over 2,800 students worth of tuition, and they admit 2,300 a year.

I'm definitely not saying that Columbia is poor, but that's not how much tuition it gets each year. Less than half the students pay the full amount.

Harvard Is Said to Be Open to Spending Up to $500 Million to Resolve Trump Dispute

The sum sought by the government is more than twice as much as the $200 million fine that Columbia University said it would pay when it settled its clash with the White House last week.

University officials, though, concluded months ago that even if they prevailed in their court fight against the government, a deal could help Harvard to avoid more troubles over the course of Mr. Trumps term.

Don't these fucking idiots know what a Trump deal is by now?

US academia is obviously run by pinheads.

If they're allowed to bend it. I could see Trump either saying no deal or making it so painful that Harvard changes their mind

The "deal" is already so lopsided that only a moron would consider accepting it.

Therefore, Harvard is apparently run by morons.

I think in this instance Columbia admins also hate student protestors. They are on his side now because his side is their side.

That's exactly what's going on, Trump loves mobsters and always wanted to be one he idolizes Al Capone after all and if you remember his recent rant about epstien he called him a persona non grata a very well known mafia term for somebody being disappeared and possibly murdered which is extremely brazen given that so many believe he straight up had the guy murdered even more brazen is before he won reelection he was flying around in his victim's former plane that he first had sex with his current wife on.

If one day we hear somebody say that Trump called his cabinet his capos this man thinks he's living in the sopranos meets scarface only he gets a happy ending compared to those guys.
