They are no longer strictly private institutions when they seek, and receive, billions of taxpayer dollars. For 50 years government has been dictating to private institutions about how they manage their affairs, once they (or even worse, their students by accepting student aid of any sort) begin taking tax money. Weaponization goes both ways. I'm for both projects coming to an immediate halt.

As I have said in other places. The government has a right to stop funding the colleges. But they don't have a right to put them into receivership and demand to audit their syllabi under threat of punitive action that has to do with the US tax code and not grant monies.

You are missing the point. Federal government should not be funding private universities, just as it doesn't fund private elementary and high schools.
Let Harvard do what they like, teach what they like...but on their dime, not mine.
