       Also Friday, #Commerce Secy Howard Lutnick sent a letter to Alan M. Garber, #Harvard’s president, claiming that the #university had not lived up to its obligations surrounding federally funded #patents, which are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Acc/to the letter, the agency will begin a comprehensive review of Harvard’s compliance w/federal #law.The new pressures on Harvard come during a week when the govt had also taken significant steps to bring other schools into line with its agenda.

       #Trump issued a directive that would require #colleges & #universities to submit reams of new data on #students to check whether they are complying with a #SCOTUS decision that ended race-based #AffirmativeAction. The White House also intensified its campaign against #UCLA which it stripped of hundreds of millions in research funds over a list of issues.#extortion #education #law #Constitution #AcademicFreedom
