It hasn't been shut down or defunded--it's just a sign that that 
terrible word has become one of those red flags to the illiterate bully 
billionaire broligarchy--which we knew already, didn't we. The U is in 
danger of being accused of antisemitism, the alibi for blocking all its 
federal funding, as we've seen with CU and JHU. That means harm to 
untold numbers of people, more and more and more when you think of the 
people medical research helps. The injunction is nice but ineffective 
because the muskrats have fired the staff that makes the money flow. 
Aren't those Leonard Leo/Project 25 guys clever, though?

Btw if you haven't read Harry Hurt's biography of the guy whose family 
name is Drumpf and whose ancestor was barred from reentering his home 
country Germany because he'd evaded military service, Lost Tycoon, it's 
eye-opening. The copy we got via ILL from the WI Historical Society had 
a pasted-in notice on the flyleaf to the effect that when Ivana 
testified (in the divorce deposition) he'd raped her she didn't mean 
that in a legal sense. Protecting her 10M settlement it seems.
