"#Harvard has suffered real legal setbacks in recent years, including a major [#SCOTUS] loss on affirmative action, and some stakeholders may be leery of another public fight…But a 400-year-old institution should be making decisions with a time horizon of centuries, not news cycles. Making a principled stand now — with the law squarely on its side — is the single best thing Harvard could do to earn its continued place as a symbol of genuine excellence, free inquiry, and commitment to the public good. Filing suit would also enhance Harvard’s legal position going forward, as any retaliation by the administration would be an even clearer violation of the First Amendment."

The stakes are high, but the choice should not be difficult.
