Why is it news when some aggrieved billionaire decides to stop pouring money into Harvard? Harvard is a billionaire! Its endowment is $50B!

If it intends to be a university instead of a reputation-laundering service for rich assholes, it should tell them to jump in a lake and actually teach what it wants.

Hell, it should be donating to schools in Florida and Texas, and applying a little curriculum agenda-setting itself.

Harvard is a billionaire and thus it suffers from billionaire-brain: it's only goal in life is to make more money.
