Fourteen House and Senate Democrats warned Harvard on Thursday that they would consider launching a congressional investigation into any major settlement between the University and the Trump administration.
In a two-page letter sent to Harvard President Alan M. Garber ’76, the lawmakers expressed “deep concern” over recent reports that Harvard is weighing a financial settlement with the White House — potentially as much as $500 million — to win back billions of dollars in federal resear…

Congressional Democrats Threaten To Investigate If Harvard Settles With Trump Administration | News | The Harvard Crimson
Fourteen House and Senate Democrats warned Harvard on Thursday that they would consider launching a congressional investigation into any major settlement between the University and the Trump administration.

The trouble with being Harvard is that your name is the most valuable thing you own. It’s bigger than anything the institution actually does.
Yes, there are some amazing and excellent people at Harvard — and some utter dingbats, as anywhere else — but whatever actual excellence Harvard offers in education or research is secondary. Harvard is a •brand• first and foremost. It’s a name people put on their resumes to make themselves worth more money in capitalism’s eyes.

Effective analysis in neuroscience benefits significantly from robust conceptual frameworks.

Who is a Better Matchmaker? Human vs. Algorithmic Judge Assignment in a High-Stakes Startup Competition
There is growing interest in applying artificial intelligence (AI) to automate and support complex decision-making tasks. However, it remains unclear how algorithms compare to human judgment in contexts requiring semantic understanding and domain expertise. We examine this in the context of the judge assignment problem, matching submissions to suitably qualified judges. Specifically, we tackled this problem at the Harvard President's Innovation Challenge, the university's premier venture compet…

The advantage to having Harvard alums (like Mailman) working for your fashy administration is that they know that the only thing that will hurt Harvard even more than a shakedown for half a billion dollars is … this line.

Harvard’s business model is raking in ungodly amounts of money selling that name to the offspring of the ultra-wealthy, however deserving or undeserving, and then investing it.
(Harvard does to its credit use a portion of that money to subsidize access for the highly deserving and underprivileged. I’ve seen the “tuition paid” graph for Harvard, and it’s very roughly ~20% pay nothing and ~40% pay full freight and their family has more money than everyone you’ve every known combined.)

My guess here at a distance is that it’s a terrible mistake to think of “Harvard” as a single anthropomorphic entity with a single mind. There are surely terrible internal battles raging at Harvard right now: between those who think it’s truly for education and those who think it’s truly for ROI, between those protecting the dollars and those protecting the brand reputation, between those cowering at the short-term financial risk of angering an authoritarian and those who see the long-term risks of capitulating.
What does “Harvard” think? Harvard is a bunch of different people. I wish them luck, and wisdom. Heaven knows they’ll need it.

35 years ago #OTD the #Hubble Space Telescope with its mishappen optics took this image of #Saturn - which could be sharpened a lot mathematically (as the paper https://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1991ApJ...369L..51W later described) since the object was so bright. It's being said that this one image was used by NASA to convince key U.S. politicians that the broken satellite still had some life in it ... and so it was, for 35 years now!

This creates truly perverse incentives and a strange culture — and it’s not clear to me that has to cut any one particular way.
I’ve heard Harvard described as a massive investment company with a small education wing, and the desire to control risk in such a situation is overwhelming. Making a deal with Stupid Darth Vader looks ridiculous if you think Harvard’s purpose is the advancement of human thought — but if you’re an investment manager treading water through the rise of authoritarianism, well, yeah, maybe you go along to get along and kiss the authoritarian’s ass.
