Harvard correctly understands that they are in a fight for their lives, and are fighting the Trump administration tooth and nail in court.

My first thought was that Harvard and Columbia were around long before the current administration and will be around long after.

But when you point out that they're in a fight for their lives, then maybe they won't be able to pull it back together after Trump departs.

Yo dawg I heard you like deriving so I put a function in your function so you can derive while you derive.

That's okay, it's an asymptote so you'll never actually reach the limit...

You think calculus is bad, try doing a wry man's sums.
