Cuomo hung up when asked about Trump’s support for him just hours before Trump says it plainly: “Whether you personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice. You must vote for him…”

Behind Closed Doors, Harvard Officials Debate a Risky Truce With Trump

Harvard must continue to protect its constitutional rights and academic freedom.

“Harvard’s status as a global leader in higher education would be decimated if Harvard were to compromise on these ideals,” Crimson Courage wrote. “We cannot stand for ‘veritas’ if we refuse to stand up for truth when the moment demands it or if we dilute our values because it is expedient.”

There are some thoughtful pieces coming out about what negotiation with the administration might mean for Harvard. We think this is a particularly good one by Steven Levitsky and Ryan Enos in The Crimson.

How not to submit to a tyrant Harvard should not negotiate

Robert Reich says “A deal with Trump would be a surrender if Harvard agrees to even a smidgeon of government oversight over who’s hired or admitted or what’s taught. Even negotiating with Trump gives his demands a degree of legitimacy he should never have.”

Opinion | I prosecuted Nixon. Trump's basis for his attack on Harvard was eerily familiar. The court premised its conclusion of an “ideologically motivated assault” against Harvard, in part, on Trump’s own admissions.

Former Watergate Assistant Special Prosecutor Nick Akerman (Harvard Law School JD ‘72) sent us his op-ed this morning and we think it’s worth a read: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
