Bill Ackman: Harvard Losing Tax Exemption is Fair Game

   But the ideological capture of universities by the extremist left is a grave threat to the future of academia...and the nation.
   It does seem to me that the government is entitled to take fairly extreme steps to encourage some reasonable degree of institutional neutrality.
   I wish there were a FIRE-like organization working for institutional neutrality with respect to politics. The left will just continue to take over our institutions and bend them to its purposes unless something is done. There is no real doubt that a kind of low-grade political indoctrination is common at universities...punctuated by outright, egregious instances of indoctrination... Practically brainwashing in some cases. I continue to think that transparency is the best weapon here. A FIRE-like organization that would give universities politicization ratings would be great...but, of course, not at all easy.
   This bullshit starts in orientation--where the first thing our students here are their orientation facilitator's "preferred pronouns"...
