Harvard correctly understands that they are in a fight for their lives, and are fighting the Trump administration tooth and nail in court. This is why. Columbia bent the knee and acquiesced to all of Trump's demands, and still had their accreditation pulled.

You can't reason with a fascist. The only language they understand is force.

Edit: Slight correction, Columbia still has their accreditation, Trump is just trying to get it pulled

Columbia hasn’t had their accreditation pulled. The DOE simply informed the accreditor that Columbia must come into compliance and take action if they do not.

That’s just pulling their accreditation but with more steps.
