    Desperate to prove their fascist bona fides in the hopes of retaining funding. It will come back to bite them. There’s no winning way to play this game but there’s and honorable and a dishonorable way.

      MIT owns the majority of the nonvoting shares in Bose. They don’t need funding.

            Revenue or profit? What’s the amount if that MIT gets? What’s MITs budget annually? How much comes from federal funds? All questions that might help answer how they reacted,

          Is this the same Bose company that makes the standard Bluetooth ANC wireless headphones that everyone and their mother uses if they aren’t using earbuds?

            I haven’t seen them in a long time anymore. QC35 was the last popular model in the masses. Now I see way more SoundCore and Sony Earphones

      Why isn’t the slippery politician like position to just say: we are not responsible for the free thought of our graduates or their opinions, nor are we able to bypass the system of accreditation our student earned their education through. Only departments and professors are allowed to award credit for work, and the the administrators do not govern the integrity of their educational success.

        They could say it, but I think they realize Trump acts on feelings and not reason, and could cut off their access to funds, so they want to appease him and make him feel good. Basic dictator and appeaser stuff.
