Political cartoon titled "Higher Learning." Four figures are shown approaching a throne where Donald Trump, wearing a crown made of gold and red jewels, sits holding a paper labeled "DEMANDS." Three figures are kneeling submissively while holding briefcases labeled "LAW FIRMS," "COLUMBIA U.," and "WASHINGTON POST." They appear deferential and compliant. The fourth figure, holding a briefcase labeled "HARVARD," stands upright and says simply, "NO." The Harvard figure faces Trump with a firm and calm expression. The throne has red carpeting leading up to it, symbolizing royal or authoritarian power. The cartoon is signed "ADAM" and dated 2025, from The Buffalo News.

One voice stood up while others bowed down.

Harvard’s stand reminds us that real leadership means knowing when to say no.
