“It has several hundred #billionaires; dozens of #LawFirms that earn at least a billion dollars a year; more than 1,700 private #universities & #colleges; a vast infrastructure of #churches, #labor #unions, private foundations & #nonprofit organizations; & a well-organized & well-financed opposition party.”
“But civil society must act collectively.
"Columbia University and New York-Presbyterian Hospital have agreed to a $750 million settlement of hundreds of sexual abuse claims by patients of disgraced and imprisoned former gynecologist Robert Hadden, bringing total legal payouts in civil cases involving the ex-doctor to over $1 billion, according to the plaintiffs’ lawyer."
“Already, #Trump has threatened to pull #funding from #colleges that don’t purge #language he considers #woke. He’s demanded new oversight of certain regional studies depts. Next he could #ban, as #Florida has, 'political or social #activism.' He could weaken the protections provided by #tenure & #faculty #unions. I saw this happen on my campus, & I know the toll it took. If the Trump admin has its way, my experience could offer a preview of what’s coming for other #universities.”
“We needed to write something that had some meat,” said David Salas-de la Cruz, who directs the chemistry graduate program at #Rutgers University-Camden. He likened the effort to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or #NATO, a military #alliance of 32 countries.
“This is not just about money,” he said. “This is about the essence of #education.”
#Harvard is among the vast majority of public & private #universities & #colleges that are #TaxExempt.
Under the #law, the #IRS initiates investigations based on established criteria & procedures, not based on presidential directives. The IRS is expected to operate independently & without political pressure.
If the IRS found that Harvard’s tax-exempt status should be revoked, Harvard would be given notice & an opportunity to contest the finding in court.

I think they buried the lead.
Education scarcity is a myth.
With #Cornell and #Yale Presidents signing onto the statement by the #American Association of #Colleges and #Universities opposing the autocratic #Trump restrictions on #AcademicFreedom , the only Ivy League school that has not joined the now 300+ signatories is Dartmouth College, which is more like a #fraternity masquerading as a #HigherEd institution anyway. #ChangeMyMind

"We break down every known way a US student visa can be revoked—based on current law and recent enforcement actions."
Leaders of elite private institutions that have been repeatedly targeted by #Trump were among the signers.
“We are open to constructive reform & do not oppose legitimate government oversight. However, we must oppose undue #GovernmentIntrusion in the lives of those who learn, live, & work on our campuses,” the letter, released by the American Assoc of #Colleges & #Universities, said.

Those MFers! 
Most private, nonprofit #colleges & #universities are exempt from paying federal income taxes because they are classified as a 501(c)(3) organization with an #educational mission. Universities do pay other taxes, such as payroll taxes for employees.
“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit & hire, & which areas of study & inquiry they can pursue,” #Harvard President Alan Garber said in his message.
UNIVERSITIES HAVE A WEAPON IN THE FIGHT AGAINST TRUMP. WHY AREN’T THEY USING IT?
Why rich universities aren’t tapping their fortunes to push back against the administration

I have further expanded the https://www.maga-collaborators.net website.
It now tracks #colleges and #universities in addition to #law firms and other #corporations that are #collaborating, #capitulating, or #resisting the #Trump #regime.
Please share this link to help spread the word! I'll be adding to and upgrading this website regularly moving forward.
And please send tips to help fill in the gaps in the data to the email address listed on the website.
