Harvard said “Hell No” and I say “Hell Yeah”

​I’ve got just two words for Harvard University: Hell yeah!

In the face of the Trump administration’s latest attack on diversity, equity, and inclusion, a “dear colleague” letter was sent to universities across the country, basically ordering them to shut down DEI programs that support an inclusive college experience. Some institutions have caved under pressure—despite strong support from faculty, students, and alumni.

But, not Harvard.

Yesterday, Harvard stood its ground and said “hell no” to the administration’s directive. And that move made me do something I never thought I’d do: as a proud William & Mary alumna, I donated to our academic nemesis. Just $100, sure—but it was my way of saying, “thank you.”

Will it put a dent in the $9 billion in federal funding Trump’s threatening to withhold? Not even close. Only $8,999,999,900 to go.

Seems impossible, right?

You must not know how loyal Harvard alumni are. Having a $53.2 billion endowment doesn't hurt ether; however, I think this bold move is going go galvanize Harvard supporters. Faculty and students are already cheering with pride.

FINALLY! This is the kind of bold resistance I want to see. Who’s next!
