The White House had not intended to send its revised — and more aggressive — set of demands to Harvard on April 11, according to a report by the New York Times published Friday evening.

Trump administration officials claimed that the demands — which were seen as excessive and illegal to Harvard’s administrators — should not have been sent and were “unauthorized,” according to the Times, which cited two unnamed sources.

The April 11 letter was signed by Josh Gruenbaum, the commissioner of the General Services Administration, Sean R. Kevney, the acting general counsel of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, and Thomas E. Wheeler, the acting general counsel of the U.S. Department of Education.

A Harvard spokesperson slammed the government’s response as “breathtakingly intrusive” in a statement to The Crimson.

“Even if the letter was a mistake, the actions the government took this week have real-life consequences,” the spokesperson wrote, adding that the letter was signed by a senior official and bore all the hallmarks of an official government document.

A White House spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Many posters were giddy about the administration punishing Harvard for not falling in line. Another day, another snafu.

Sounds like Harvard is getting ready to fall in line so Trump withdrew the more aggressive demands.

You support grooming children and you’re bitching about this? Really? You need to sit this one out.

Harvard has already ruined themselves.

Money or no money. Most kids now are saying frick Harvard because all their parents are saying frick Harvard.

When you lose all you white students don’t come knocking down the door.

If this story is true. The NYT doesn't have a good batting average for truth - even less so with stories that are 100% based on "unnamed sources"

Meh. It's a shot over the bow. Let them see where things "could" go, then withdraw the "mistake "

Congratulations on the big win. But ultimately it doesn’t matter and neither do you. Not because that’s just something I arbitrarily came up with myself - it’s what you’ve done to yourself.

The relative non importance of this dictates that no one will remember (or even care) in 48 hours or less.

This is impossible. As we learned with the El Salvadorian, the administration never makes mistakes even, and maybe especially, when they themselves said they made a mistake.

Clearly the people in the administration who are saying they sent it in error are deep state actors.
