Importantly, the Civil Rights Act is a (well-litigated) law, not an ad hoc decree from the executive branch. If the current administration wants to strong arm universities, they should go through Congress.

If they want to abridge freedom of speech, they also need 2/3s of US states.
Or the Supreme Court.

That's right. And it's the function of the executive branch to enforce those laws.
I agree. Congress has allocated funds to Harvard. It’s not up to the executive whether to disburse them, unless that was specifically stated in the law.
