Ppl, more teaching institutions, and private companies that will NOT bend the knee.

The ketchup must have been everywhere when informed of Harvard’s response

All the guys hoped to get into Harvard. And it's totally unprecedented for an American president to dictate what students and teachers are acceptable for a private college, let alone what they're allowed to teach. Except for the last time around, didn't he take over New College in Florida? That school sticks in my mind since one of my boarding school classmates was hoping to go to New College because it sounded pretty liberal, the opposite of our boarding school - established 1879.
