Harvard Hopes to Rally Other Universities

Wall Street Journal: “Now that Harvard has stuck its neck out, it is waiting for support. The institution is working with Ballard Partners, a lobbying firm with close ties to Trump that the university hired earlier this year. It is also leaning on its own team in Washington to reach out to potentially sympathetic Republicans in the administration or in Congress who might be willing to help.”

“The pitch to Republicans, according to a person familiar with the matter: Don’t overreach, this is a private institution.”

Axios: Trump’s pressure campaign against universities hits a Harvard-sized snag.

David Ignatius: By saying ‘no’ to Trump, Harvard saves its soul.
