Harvard’s endowment is $53 billion. Explain exactly why they need tax payer money when the fed is already extremely in debt that’s never going to be paid back? Seriously fuck the Trump administration, but this is a non-partisan issue.
These research grants aren’t a gift and they’re not magically landing at Harvard or any other institution. Rather, they’re awarded to the very best applicants through a rigorous competitive bidding process that’s intended to identify scientific research that stands to benefit the country.
Endowments are allocated to different programs and resources, and frequently are hard-locked to what they were donated for.
Plus the illegal and punitive defunding was based on entirely made up bullshit and should be loudly rejected so other universities have more of a will to fight and not bend the knee to the fascist regime
If it was non-partisan then congress could just make the changes when doing the budget. But Trump is trying to bypass our democracy.
Additionally investment in research is a great investment in the country. You’re right that we might want to look at how we’re spending our money, but that’s not what’s happening here.

Sounds inefficient. It’s almost like they’re just numbers on a computer screen.
well so is federal debt, which was your justification? And arguably even more fictional.
Exactly, so I guess it doesn’t matter regardless.
