Ivy League Universities Received $41.6B in Taxpayer Money Over 6 Years

Nothing wrong with the Feds supporting cutting edge the R&D that goes on in our institutions. I would agree that standards should be set to make sure that the money is used for the more important studies like medical research

Who said anything of the sort? Just curious why Harvard, Yale, etc., need billions of taxpayer $$.
To fund research projects

From the article:

"A number of these federal grants facilitated the study of topics like “the influence of women’s employment on marriage in Bangladesh,” “ethics in Tanzania,” “wintering grounds for gold-winged warblers,” “urban black men who have sex with men and women,” and the question “what does health insurance do.”

Federal funds come with compliance requirements. Violently supressing free speech should cause a freeze on funds until universities get their students under control.

If university funds were on the line, you can be sure administrations will crack down on professors instigating or encouraging these riots.

Then up the tuition.
Tuitions are already ridiculously high. Do you really think passing the costs into the students is the right call?

If they were truly research grants for medical, biomedical, etc. I'd have no issues.

You can cherry pick the worthless studies if you want but to be fair you also have to consider the medical research and technological advancements that are also supported by this funding. Im all for cutting the fat and improving effectiveness but let's be honest when discussing these issues.

Also, if you don't want the American flag there or American military recruiters, you shouldn't want American taxpayer money either!

Sounds too manipulative and authoritarian for my blood. Increase security if violence is occurring other than that students have the right to protest and you have the right to call them snowflakes for protesting if you want

I agree with you there, so why not call for better requirements and accountability of how the funds are used? Passing the buck to increase tuition doesn't make sense and won't help the situation at all.
