Harvarded

To be harvarded is to have a person with immense power, mainly an authoritarian figure, ruthlessly go after an individual or an organization that is critical of them, like Trump is doing to Harvard.

This organization is being very careful with its words, because it doesn't want to get harvarded.

Harvarded

Used when a powerful person or organization is attacking, either politically or economically, a less powerful person or organization.

First coined by historian Dr. Allan J. Lichtman in his podcast Lichtman Live #140, in reference to the Trump administration cutting federal funding to Harvard University and forbidding them from enrolling international students (2025).

I'm not publishing this book criticizing the president, I don't want to be harvarded.

stealing Harvard

(based on the movie Stealing Harvard): robbing a bank in order to specifically pay off an expensive tuition or a mortgage

is stealing Harvard even a crime? probably not, if there was no one killed in your attack, and if you stole the money only to re-invest it in the economy
