Overty Racist, Rightous and Partisan from epic tragedy are those with wisdom learn: While Harvard's lawsuit was the first filed by a university, higher education associations and organizations representing faculty have filed other legal challenges over the funding cuts. Faculty at some universities are organizing to protect one another, with several members of the Big Ten Academic Alliance, a consortium of some of the country's largest state universities, signing a resolution to establish a "mutual defence compact." In addition to its actions against Harvard, the administration has threatened – and in some cases withheld – millions more in funding from Cornell, Northwestern, Brown, Columbia, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania. The publication mentioned that Columbia University has largely accepted the administration's requirements to restore funding, including placing an academic department under outside oversight, and its president did not sign the collective statement.
