BREAKING: White House Unveils Ivy League Purge Act—Harvard to Be Rebranded “Trump University at Cambridge” – SATIRE

Photorealistic satire of Harvard’s gate rebranded as “Trump University at Cambridge.” A bronze statue of Donald Trump gives a thumbs-up beside the brick entrance, while two visitors in red MAGA hats snap cheerful selfies in front of the ornate wrought-iron sign.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Declaring that “elite thought is an elite threat,” the Trump administration today introduced the Ivy League Purge Act (ILPA), an emergency order that immediately freezes federal research grants to any university failing a new “patriotism audit.” First up: Harvard University, which will be taken into receivership and re-launched this fall as Trump University at Cambridge (T-UAC).

“Harvard had a good run,” Education Secretary ChatGPT-5* told reporters. “But the time has come for a campus that teaches American greatness—not whatever they were doing in that Kennedy School basement.”

*Name redacted by White House stenographers “for national security, probably.”


Key provisions of the Ivy League Purge Act

SectionRequirementCompliance Test
101—Loyalty OathAll faculty must pledge that “Disney’s The Lion King is a documentary about supply-side economics.”Fingerprint scanner attached to a miniature gold statue of the former president.
203—Balanced CurriculumReplace Critical Race Theory with Critical Praise Theory (a 16-credit course on quoting Presidents 45 and 47 in original ALL-CAPS).Midterm: live-tweet a rally without using spell-check.
305—Research FundingNIH and NSF grants redirected to “Real Problems,” e.g., inventing un-melting ice cream for golf resorts.Annual freezer inspection by Don Jr.
404—Library HygieneAll books >300 pages flagged as “elitist tomes.” Required replacement: The Art of the Deal for Kids (coloring-book edition).Librarians must Sharpie out every instance of the word “social.”
666—Mascot ModernizationRetire Harvard’s “Crimson” and adopt a new Fighting Comb-Over logo in tasteful Pantone #FF0000.Mascot must appear at halftime chanting “Go therefore and MAGA-fy all nations.”

Campus makeover highlights

  • Yard Renovations: The historic Harvard Yard will be resurfaced in Astroturf emblazoned with a 200-foot “TRUMP” watermark. John Harvard’s statue replaced with a rotating hologram of the former president pointing at a tuition invoice.
  • New Housing: Freshman dorms renamed Covfefe Hall and Stable Genius Court; every common room equipped with a 24/7 livestream of Truth Social’s trending tab (projected onto any spare wall space formerly reserved for art).
  • Dining Overhaul: Marx-inspired dishes (e.g., “Workers’ Veggie Stew”) eliminated in favor of the official campus entrée: The Billionaire Burger—$2 000 or “two small-donor payments of $99.99 for 24 months.”

“We’re actually saving free speech”—officials insist

White House spokesman Tucker Karlson (no relation, he swears) called critics “jealous nerds who prefer cancel culture to country clubs.”

“Look, we’re transforming Harvard into a place where young Americans can finally major in Advanced Grievance Studies without being silenced by facts,” Karlson said, adding that T-UAC will still honor previous acceptance letters, “provided students submit a loyalty meme by COB Friday.”

Asked whether the purge might chill academic inquiry, Karlson replied, “Absolutely—inquiry should be served cold.”


Student & faculty reactions

  • Mia Patel, Biochemistry PhD candidate: “My cancer-drug grant is frozen, but I’m told there’s money for a think piece on why feelings are facts. Cool, cool.”
  • Dr. Edwin Blaine, former tenured historian: “They swapped my office key for a commemorative NFT. It’s non-fungible, but so is tenure, apparently.”
  • First-year now-transfer Mason Hicks: “My parents were worried about ‘woke indoctrination.’ Turns out the alternative is marketing funnels. Guess I’ll go to Yale—oh, wait.”
