IS:
Harvard found a new clause in the Constitution called “we’re entitled.”
In their filing, they insist that taxpayer dollars continue to flow into their coffers, even as students pay exorbitant tuitions. They have a “constitutional” right to it. more
Why would the federal government even want to take over those worthless bastards? They can do what they want; without tax dollars.
Yup, right next to the citizenship clause the reads “illegals can pop out a squalling brat on US soil and it gets to be a citizen”.
BULLSHIT! Hahvad does not have a constitutional right to our tax dollars now or ever. Who do these elite snobby assholes think they are.
I say so; therefore they do. Keep up the payments or else! I am the law!
If Harvard U has a right to my money¹, then I have a right to Harvard U’s money. See: 14th Amendment.
Pay up, you commie bastards.
1. They are replete with feces.
Harvard’s attorneys: “[n]either Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government.”
Don’t they read their own shit? Why would any “private university” need tax dollars to survive? And who in Pres. Trump’s government wants to take over Harvard?
Harvard’s attorneys would probably come up with something like: It’s a lot more nuanced that that….private means different things to different people…conservatives do not understand these nuances.
Harebrained-vard University can drag its sorry ass into Hell’s furnaces for all I care.
Harvard has over $50 billion in their endowment fund. A couple of years ago I read on article where they were buying land in California to get the water rights for ‘investment’ purposes.
Nobody in the private sector, and I mean absolutely fing nobody, would hire a Harvard Grad. Same goes for a bunch of other major indoctrination institutes of even higher indoctrination. Like UCLA. Fill free to add to the list. Just call them Socialist U.
“Let the eat cake” in the form of Soros/Gates endowments which may eventually dry up or be stopped for any reason. Harvard and Columbia know that endowments can’t last forever, so the grifting of US taxpayer funding has been there for the taking – it was secure. The evil cabal of progressives didn’t count on Trump surviving assassination attempts and lawfare, then becoming President.
Oh yeah??? F.U.
igotsyo constitutional right swinging, assholes
haavad, pimp your ****** bullshit on your (private) dime, property, & time
If they have a right to my money, then I have a ‘right’ to attend their school ‘free of charge’!
Tax their endowments in an amount equal to whatever federal money they think they are entitled to.
I assume, being a true blue city, that Boston Massachusetts is always looking for more loot to steal via taxation. I also assume that Harvard U doesn’t currently pay property tax. I further assume that Harvard’s real estate is worth a metric shit-ton of money.
Somebody needs to run the numbers and make a proposal to the Boston city council or equivalent.

oops. wrong gravatar. the above was in fact yrs truly.
Haverd has the same right to our tax dollars like a bank robber feels he has a right to the bank’s money! They have scorned the special dispensation of the obligation to pay taxes to the point they feel entitled to hard-earned, over-taxed-payer dollars! This is the very definition of “Give ’em an inch and they will take a mile”!
@Brad: small sample size, but the least competent professionals I ran across in my business were Harvard grads. However, they were the most arrogant and entitled.
Harvard truly is a school for the rich and privileged. Even though the school has a $53 billion endowment fund, they insist that they are entitled to feed off the taxpayer dime even though many of those taxpayers could never send their kid to Harvard simply because their kid is Asian or a white male.
Didn’t this country have a revolution way back because all the worthless lords and lordlings back in England imagined themselves entitled to our taxes in return for shitting on us marginally less? There really is no limit to how the shitbags who dominate what we so laughingly call a “society” feel entitled to everyone else’s goods, wealth, and even freedom of thought.
Harvard accepted Ted Kennedy. Probably under duress from that old crook Joseph B. Kennedy.
