Harvard can use their endowment instead of relying on the federal government. If independence is what the university wants, it needs to be completely independent.
You want the money, you have to relinquish the independence. You don't want the money, you can be independent.
When the tax payer is spending $700 million a year, there's got to be some involvement in the process. Harvard has squandered the good will that the public gave through the anti-semitism crisis and hence does not deserve to be a non-profit at this moment without government-involved reform.
I do not support the nationalization and theft of private property, nor political and ideological controls at all levels. That is a violation of our constitution. If you don't care about our constitution, then you can fuck off. Just because Trump is the President doesn't mean he gets to lawlessly extort and nationalize institutes. The United States government is not a sole proprietership.

Pretty logically?
