Opinion | I prosecuted Nixon. Trump's basis for his attack on Harvard was eerily familiar. The court premised its conclusion of an โ€œideologically motivated assaultโ€ against Harvard, in part, on Trumpโ€™s own admissions.

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

Trump Administration Will Freeze $2 Billion After Harvard Refuses Demands Federal officials said they would freeze the money after Harvard said it would not submit to requests to overhaul hiring and report international students who break rules.

โ€œThis gives more room for others to stand up, in part because if Harvard hadnโ€™t, it would have said to everyone else, โ€˜You donโ€™t stand a chance,โ€™โ€ said Dr. Mitchell, a former president of Occidental College. โ€œThis gives people a sense of the possible.โ€
