Rumours are Harvard is strapped for cash if its tax-exempt status and $2.3bn in federal funding isn’t reinstated, as the NYT reports ‘Losing International Students Could Devastate Many Colleges’

Judging from the 2F to 1M ratio of the beach thong assay (maybe even more) in Santa Cruz during school sessions in the spring, (along with DEI) a majority of undergrad and postgrads must be women.

My own alma mater department at UCLA went to 70 percent women (in the olden days, 95 percent male).

Well, they still coddle and produce bloodline psychopathic murderers, democidists, and genocidists, so there's that. All of that time and money just to learn a pack of endorsed lies and butt up against knowledge guard rails by martinet Kommie academicians stamping out conformity, or just enough technical knowledge to become an agog cog in the machinery. The NASCAR status element is curdled. They are more likely to be regarded as Bertie Wooster nincompoops, and the plebs have been vaccinated into health decaying shells before they even reach middle age.

The Ivies have been tasked to eat and maim their own. The students toil in fear, trepidation and ulcer provoking competition for high SAT scores just to find out classes are filled with DEI idiots and taught by other DEI idiots and administered by other DEI idiots, and your immune system has been forcibly and permanently altered by Student Health vaccine requirements. Of course, these vaccine requirements will be disregarded for the spawns of the elites.

It's a club, not a college. Most people at Ivy league schools that do anything are attorneys or are political science majors. I somehow got accept to Brown. Was more for a sport, but I was young and dumb for applying. I think I still have the letter somewhere. I'm not living in Rhode Island, just thought it would be cool to apply to some Ivey League schools.

It's all a game. It's all social or about making the sports look good because usually it's 90% nerds that apply. They want people that have a large network of buddies. Education is the same everywhere. They want alumni that they can network and make money off of plain and simple. You're basically a pawn that the alumni extract new people and info from as an undergrad.

https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/peak-hostage-puppy

we’re getting very close to peak hostage puppy. ...

here we see the classic hostage puppy framing. “if you cancel the 3,000 awful and stupid things we are doing you must also cancel these 3 things that we will point to and say ‘well what about this wonderful thing? are you trying to kill the puppy?’” as if this is the whole of the matter.

it’s grandstanding to select a few points to stand for a whole.

the implication is obvious: you want women to die of breast cancer! this work will all be lost! it’s too important! ...

a $53bn endowment throws off $4.9bn per year, literally $563k per hour in returns (using 9.3% return, harvard’s 7 year historical rate). that’s ~$1,600 per second. surely if this work is as critical as claimed, harvard could spare a handful of seconds from its annual return to pay the electrical bill for these freezers full of precious cargo. the fact that this proposition of “having to shut off the fridge” is even on the table at all is pretty ridiculous.

this is an unserious claim made by unserious people. ...

the good doctor himself likely earns $350-500k a year at harvard (i could not find an exact number but he’s a 250-300 base with endowed chair supplement and likely grant funded salary) but surely this would be sufficient to, at the very least, spring for a few grand in freezer fees to keep the work of his life intact.

this whole line of histrionics is a nonsense. all of this is easy to fix, they just do not want to fix it because they’ve become accustomed to getting the goodies for free. ...

harvard spits out huge piles of profit from its endowment. it earns 9.3% a year but only pays out about 5%. the rest is retained and compounds. the endowment made $4.5bn in 2024 but only paid $2.4bn into the operating budget while slurping up $686 million in taxpayer funded grants.

had harvard instead paid out $3.1bn, they could have still increased their endowment size by $1.4bn while covering ALL the grants and taking nothing from taxpayers and still had $14 million left to pay warren buffet to come to campus and teach the administrators some basic accounting. ...

schools like harvard get panoplies of tax breaks and subsidies. but why are we subsidizing something so incredibly rich and, more absurdly, why are we allowing one of the wealthiest educational institutions in the history of history to so baselessly cry poor?

$53bn is quite a large tax-free hedge fund to run. if its purpose is not to fund research like this that is deemed so irreplaceable and important, then what is it for?

Meanwhile, the culture wars continue apace. Yesterday, President Trump escalated his war with Harvard. The New York Times reported the encouraging story below the headline, “Shock at Harvard After Government Says International Students Must Go.”

Overseas students make up about a third of Harvard’s student body. According to the Times, about 80% of them pay full tuition, a much higher rate than American students. So.

Yesterday, in a curt, 2-page stinker of a letter, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem notified Harvard that its privilege to enroll international students will soon be revoked. Thank you for your attention to this matter. The Times quoted any number of disgruntled foreign students, offended Harvard officials, and loquacious experts, who all wailed about the unfairness of the move since Harvard is no longer an American university but is now a global institution that rightly belongs to the entire world.

The move appears to have come after Harvard sued the Administration on First Amendment grounds, arguing that Trump is unconstitutionally trying to silence their outspoken advocacy for wokeness and DEI, and to force them to agree that universities should be race-neutral. Legally speaking, Trump is on firm ground with this latest revocation of foreign admissions, since he can argue national security — an area firmly within Executive Branch control that courts almost always stay out of.

Almost always. We shall see.

I have zero sympathy for Harvard. It's been nothing but an instrument of oppression for a very long time.

Arguing national security for banning a single university from accepting foreign students sounds frivolous. Same with tariff on one product of one American company.

Donnie needs better advisors.

Yesterday, Trump schooled the nation’s wokest university, and the NYT ran the story below the headline, “Trump Intends to Cancel All Federal Funds Directed at Harvard.” The sub-headline explained, “A letter to federal agencies will instruct them to end contracts, totaling about $100 million. It is meant to sever the government’s remaining ties with Harvard.”

“The Trump administration,” the Times reported, “is determined to bring Harvard — arguably the country’s most elite and culturally dominant university — to its knees, by undermining its financial health and global influence.”

In the last 30 days, the Administration has frozen $3.1 billion in grants and revoked Harvard’s permission to enroll foreign students — both stayed (for now) by federal judges. The House’s budget bill, now in the Senate, included a provision increasing taxes on university endowments (Harvard—$53 billion). Yesterday, Trump’s team dispatched its latest weaponized letter, this time not to Harvard but to all federal agencies. The letter recommended canceling all contracts with Harvard and refraining from signing any new ones.

Let’s discuss this cleverly worded move during the brief moment before some federal judge enjoins it— an even deeper judicial invasion of Executive Branch authority.

First, the reaction. The bluehairs at BlueSky immediately began projectile vomiting outrage. Harvard is the nation’s leading research institution! Trump is kneecapping America’s best brains!

The best examples of potentially canceled contracts the Times could muster included a $49,858 NIH contract to investigate the effects of coffee drinking (ahem) and a $25,800 Homeland Security contract for senior executive training. I did not make those up.

Now, I’m just a lawyer, but I’m willing to underbid Harvard here. For a mere $24,999 —half price!— I will personally investigate the effects of coffee drinking — extensively and repeatedly — and I’ll even throw in a bonus inquiry into whether donuts pair better with dark roast or medium blend.

As for the $25,800 executive training gig? I’m free next Thursday. We’ll start with a PowerPoint titled, “How to Not Get Schooled by a Reality TV President.” BYO tissues.

Just like with foreign student enrollment, the power of the federal purse — especially purchasing power — resides squarely in the Executive Branch. Not the Ivy League. Judges have no business micromanaging that discretion. Trump’s latest letter didn’t just pull the plug — it weaponized the process. It strongly recommends agencies terminate existing contracts and requires a contract-by-contract review, turning every Harvard connection into a potential liability.

And let us never forget: not a single judge was brave enough — or fast enough — to enjoin Biden’s sweeping executive order that canceled contracts for every federal contractor who refused to enforce jab mandates. Entire industries were turned inside out overnight. But now? Harvard catches a cold, and suddenly judges are tripping over their robes in their rush to provide triage care.

Apparently, executive discretion is only sacred when it’s used to coerce citizens’ compliance— not when it cuts off cash to the hallowed Cathedral.

Any sane judge would make Harvard challenge each cancelled contract individually — after the fact, when there is an actual injury. But of course, some robe-wrapped resister will probably try to enjoin even the letter’s recommendation. That injunction will rest on judicial ice so thin you could hear it cracking from Thayer Dorm.

https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/oh-harvard-wednesday-may-28-2025

In more news from the vaunted Cathedral, yesterday the Times ran a remarkable story headlined, “Harvard Professor Who Studied Honesty Loses Tenure Amid Accusations of Falsifying Data.”




A professor studying honesty. What do you want to bet it was one of the contracts subject to Trump Administration review?

Item 142: $327,000 to study honesty in workplace communication. Grantee: Harvard. Status: pending misconduct review. Recommendation: Cancel and replace with a mirror.

Oh, it gets so much worse. Harvard hasn’t stripped tenure from anyone for any reason since the 1940s. Not even former President Claudia Gay, who resigned in shame after being caught plagiarizing for her incomprehensible papers on structural racism. The last guy who got canned back in the ’40’s probably got caught endorsing President Eisenhower too loudly or something.

One suspects that Harvard’s historic and unprecedented disciplinary zeal — finally stripping tenure for the first time since before the moon landing — might just coincidentally align with the Trump Administration’s contract scalpel hovering over their $100 million federal pipeline. Funny how fast the gears of accountability grind into action when the checkbook’s in jeopardy. Harvard’s sudden rediscovery of consequences seems about as spontaneous as a North Korean election.

But you have to give “prominent behavioral scientist” Francesca Gino credit. If you’re going to manipulate data, at least do it on a study about manipulation. At least it’s thematic integrity.

I was most interested in the description of Ms. Gino’s field of study. She has published a number of peer-reviewed articles about “how small changes can influence behavior.” Behavior modification. The Times reported that “the studies in which Dr. Gino has been a co-author are, for example, included one showing that counting to 10 before deciding what to eat can lead to choosing healthier food.

In other words, she’s a nudger.

Nudging — the behavioral economics strategy of subtly guiding choices without the victims’ awareness — played a starring but curiously unexamined role during the pandemic. Born of the unholy conviction that small psychological tweaks — especially fear — can trigger massive shifts in behavior, nudges were deployed everywhere: floor arrows directing human traffic like livestock, automatic vaccine appointments, social norm messaging (“9 out of 10 people in your area wear their masks”), commercials featuring intubated children, and emotionally manipulative signage warning shoppers to save grandma from the ventilator.

Like vampires, nudgers operate in the shadows — manipulating behavior through suggestion, framing, and defaults, all while preserving the illusion of free will. During the pandemic, governments leaned hard into these tactics, often without disclosure or debate, raising thorny — and conveniently ignored — ethical questions about consent, manipulation, and where exactly the boundary lies between guidance, coercion, and control.

Now we discover a “prominent,” peer-reviewed nudger, crusted deep into Harvard itself, lying her nudging butt off — a behavioral scientist caught behaving badly, and in a perfectly ironic twist, in a study about honesty. If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about the kinds of people who were running pandemic policy, you might just need a little more nudging yourself.

Next up: trust researchers caught embezzling, and transparency experts applying for FOIA exemptions.

Maybe Trump is on to something? But wait, there’s more.

Last week, the Boston Globe ran a follow-up story headlined, “Former Harvard morgue manager pleads guilty to selling stolen body parts across state lines.”

Bald, shaped like a bowling pin, and radiating the smug defiance of a man who names his own horror franchise, Harvard’s former morgue manager Cedric Lodge proudly drove a Subaru with the vanity plate “GRIM-R.” His wife, Denise — also in on the fun — rolled with “DKSHDWS,” an homage to the 1960s gothic-horror show Dark Shadows. You might call those red flags. Harvard apparently called them parking passes.

It’s fair to ask why Harvard needs a morgue. It’s for the medical school. Witless and overtrusting alum donate their bodies to Harvard for science, making them feel like they are donating the last full measure of gullibility to the sacred pursuit of knowledge. What they didn’t know was that Harvard was quietly running a side hustle out of the anatomical gift shop — carving up their donated corpses and flipping them to macabre freaks and cannibals with PayPal accounts and Etsy storefronts.

They weren’t even hiding it very carefully, strongly suggesting that Cedric felt untouchable — a tenured ghoul in Harvard’s cathedral crypt. The paper trail was practically gift-wrapped. Investigators found 39 online payments from one Pennsylvania ‘collector,’ Joshua Taylor, totaling $37,000 — averaging $950 per body part in Harvard’s unaccredited human Etsy store. The memo lines were as subtle as a shallow grave, like “head number 7,” or “braiiiiiins” (only $200).

It’s one thing to run a black-market organ operation; it’s another to do it with PayPal and cheeky zombie jokes.

It’s hard to imagine how Harvard somehow never noticed. Cedric’s customers advertised openly, all over the Internet:




Cedric, now 57, has good lawyers, and they pleaded him down to one count of corpse trafficking. Thank Heavens, he still faces up to ten years.

So let’s recap. At the self-anointed high altar of American intellect: the nudger-in-chief of behavioral compliance was faking data about honesty, the morgue manager was trafficking human remains with horror-movie license plates, and the school itself is now facing an existential reckoning from the one man they’ve spent years undermining and calling apostate—Donald Trump.

This isn’t just irony. It’s institutional poetry. Veritas may still be etched in stone on Harvard’s seal, but the place operates more like a zombified cathedral now—haunted by the long-evicted ghost of its Christian moral roots, and re-animated by prestige, power, and whatever’s left of donor cadavers they weren’t shipped out in Cedric’s Subaru.

If these stories represent the moral compass of the expert class, no wonder Trump went to war with them. He’s not smashing sacred idols. He’s flipping the breaker on a rotting pagan temple lit by lies and liturgical technocrats. It’s animated by the slowly decaying shreds of its historical prestige, but the institution is long dead inside.

If Harvard needs a federally funded study to understand why people drink coffee, maybe it’s to stay awake through the stench of its own rotting credibility. Veritas.

With tuition rates there's no reason for the federal government to be giving any college funding. 55% of students don't even graduate. Zuckerburg didn't graduate. Not that he's something to look up to, but most people don't graduate. Bill Gates didn't. I'm sure there are other billionaires that didn't as well. Why fund it?

I'm sure they still educate the inner sanctum of Illuminati Witches and dynastics on their proper place and role in the hierarchies of money and power. Pure technocrats probably do OK as long as they don't dip into the swills of fake history and propaganda progressive cant.

Social sciences, of course, as they relate to Tavistock herd terrorism, manipulation, brainwashing and hand waving bullshit and MKUltra are probably great for the hierarchal prison camp guard sadists, psychopaths and overseer con artists in training.

Small groups of inner sanctum dynastic geniuses with mental skills will be taught 'real physics' rather than the closed system shit that has been flogged as the end point of physical knowledge since the 1920's.

The intergenerational spy spawns will be 'language trained', and revealed to the 'real workings' of the big picture so they can be farmed out by the Intels.

The foreigners are Globalist endorsed spies, oil-garch spawns, psychotic Rhodes traitors working as agents of the Crown, or 'silver or the bullet' economic hitman anointed elites of their various tribal war torn countries enjoying a Hegelian reprieve.

https://feelsdesperate.substack.com/p/6-reasons-trump-should-nuke-harvard

No less shocking to me than the Trump administration’s all-out war against Harvard is how little sympathy the university has elicited. Trump’s attack required a minimum of justification relative to the enthusiasm it generated. Jewish donors are happy about the crackdown on Third World, leftist, theater-kid performance art and MAGA understands reflexively that Harvard is a reviled political enemy. ...

In retrospect, the institutions’ anathematization of MAGA was a tremendous miscalculation. Anyone in the institutions openly sympathetic to MAGA was chased out, and many who cooperated with Trump I were vilified and had career prospects harmed. The institutions’ failure to hedge against Trump II left them exposed as a pure enemy without any recourse when he was re-elected as a much more effective executive accompanied by a true, loyal counter-elite. (We’re getting to the point where we have sufficient data to demonstrate unequivocally that the people running the universities, the Penny Pritzker types, aren’t particularly bright and lack the capacity for good judgement.) ...

The stakes need to be clear for what happens when an institution abrogates core institutional missions to ‘do politics.’ ...

In admissions, hiring, and promotions, has Harvard routinely violated the Civil Rights Act and actively engages in discrimination based on race and sex. The United States cannot tolerate having civil rights law that is used as a cudgel in one direction, and then, in the other, is openly and gleefully flouted. It is clear that Harvard believes it is above having to comply with both a Supreme Court decision and the Civil Rights Act and that with a minimum of subterfuge and retro-engineering it can go about business as usual until the political environment becomes friendlier. It is also clear that Harvard, as a matter of self-governance, lacks the will, if not the capacity to stop engaging in unlawful discrimination. Many of the ‘voices of reason’ within Harvard oversaw and abetted discriminatory practices at Harvard. ...

It’s been hinted at, but part of MAGA’s vision for higher ed may include redistributing educational and research funding to state institutions in regions of the country that have undergone the most post-industrial decline. It’s unclear why federal technical and biomed research funding needs to be concentrated among a handful of ideologically hostile private institutions in the Northeast. ...

Part of MAGA’s agenda may be to shrink the footprint of biomed and technical research and let’s be honest: they have a rationale for doing so, given both the magnitude of the catastrophes we’ve engineered and our failure to own up to them in a meaningful way.

(This is obviously about Fauci's virus and the dangerous and defective mandated mRNA injections. - Patrick)

In defending itself, Harvard has enumerated its responsibilities and obligations, to science to social justice to international governance, but is unable to account for why it seems to offer so little to such a broad swath of the American public who see it as an enemy and for which it has no legitimizing narrative.

The purpose of the institution is to keep the world safe for psychopathic dynastic clowns and bloodlines, who will be launched into elite positions no matter what and over anybody else and that struggling plebs 'ordinary' will at best be competing to become well paid, conforming and obedient middle men.

Truth will be hidden except for the anointed few because the university does not teach, it desynchronizes those who have enough brain power to figure it out and know better, putting them in handcuffs of striving status and paychecks to keep them in line.

In a sense, the Globalist machines and the Crown operating from Europe through Harvard realized that the meritocracy was irrelevant, and chose as policy instead to elevate stupid, perverted and easily corrupted monkeys instead as a control grid.

The Journal marveled that China’s communist party prefers to send its officials to US institutions for governance training. What does it mean when our premier colleges are the top finishing schools where up-and-coming communists learn how to be better Marxists?

Most humiliating of all, Harvard has become the new home of Alpha Kappa Marx, the revolutionaries’ party-school pick:

For decades, the party has sent thousands of mid-career and senior bureaucrats to
pursue executive training and postgraduate studies on U.S. campuses, with Harvard
University a coveted destination described by some in China as the top "party school"
outside the country.

Not coincidentally, the story also reported that last Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the Administration will soon severely restrict visa applications from China, and “aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.”

According to the story, Harvard-trained comrades include Xi Jinping’s top trade negotiator, a former vice president of China, and several sitting Politburo members. In 2010, President Xi’s daughter even attended under an alias. While her daddy prepared to rule the world’s largest dictatorship and assume the reins of America’s geopolitical enemy, get this: Harvard helped hide her.

“Harvard administrators and some faculty members,” the Journal coolly reported, “were aware of her identity.” Thanks a lot, Harvard.

While American manufacturing collapsed, IP theft soared, and the U.S. lost entire sectors to China’s strategic trade practices, America’s top universities enthusiastically invited CCP officials into the inner sanctum— training new communists in public policy, governance, negotiation, and national development. ...

In other words, it’s been lies all the way down. The same schools that have long claimed to stand for “liberal democracy” are actually training the next generation of Chinese Communists— on how to outcompete liberal democracies using our own tools against us.

Nor does the academic tolerance extend both ways. In Democrats’ America, if you’re a domestic dissenter —say, a parent questioning school boards, a scientist skeptical of pharma funding, or a Facebooker posting unapproved memes— you’re labeled a threat to democracy, deplatformed, and probably put on a watchlist.

But if you’re a high-ranking Chinese Communist official, you’re no threat to democracy at all. You get a Harvard fellowship, a guided tour of the State Department, and trained seal-like applause from the Kennedy School faculty for your “innovative governance.”

Commencement Speaker at Harvard is Mainland Chinese Student with familial and NGO ties to CCP
Selecting Luanna Jiang as #Harvard’s graduate speaker was not a wise decision. The choice presumably aimed to showcase the benefits of internationalisation and diversity in American higher education. It had the opposite effect: it has unintentionally reinforced the stereotype of elite U.S. institutions as serving global elites (criticism particularly arose from those of authoritarian regimes) while appearing indifferent, if not complicit, to malign foreign influence.

Jiang’s address centred on the concept of a “shared future of humanity,” a phrase that mirrors the ideological framework of “人類命運共同體,” or “community with a shared future for mankind,” first introduced by Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2017. The underlying premise is clear: the Chinese Communist Party seeks to expand its global influence under the guise of promoting the common good, all while rejecting accountability within international mechanisms. This vision of a shared future rests on a unipolar, Sino-centric worldview designed to allow Beijing to bypass democratic norms and scrutiny. The goal is not cooperation, but dominance through coercion or inducement.

We fail if we don’t take the threats from malign actors seriously. Under Xi, the People’s Republic of China has intensified its authoritarian expansionism and increasingly undermines the international order. Whether we wish to view Xi as “an enemy” is beside the point; what matters is that his regime decided to act like one long ago.

What concerns me most is how these sugar-coated pacifist messages can blur the judgment of even the most intelligent minds. It will ultimately lead to more suffering around the world because dictators don’t get as much scrutiny and accountability. This speech delegation decision may deepen public scepticism toward institutions like Harvard, casting them as naive (or worse, complicit) in the face of obvious danger.

Reuters ran a story headlined, “Trump suspends entry of international students studying at Harvard.” Not only that, but according to a leaked cable “seen by Reuters,” the State Department ordered all its consular missions to enforce additional vetting of visa applicants looking to travel to Harvard for any reason. ...

Harvard can cry all it wants about the First Amendment and retaliation, but foreign nationals have no constitutional right to enter the U.S., and institutions like Harvard have no constitutional right to demand visas be granted to their applicants. Courts have explicitly ruled this. Not only that, but Harvard is deep underwater right now in the public’s jaded eye: antisemitism scandals, imploding diversity deans, corpse controversies, plagiarism problems, lying ethics professors, remedial math classes, Chinese cash pipelines, and widespread mockery over grade inflation and ideological monoculture.
