Well hung fellow

Harvard withdrew its offer for Bradley/Chelsea Manning to be a fellow.
Manning hung up when getting the news.
Manning ended the conversation on Thursday as the dean, Douglas Elmendorf, tried to justify to her his decision to cancel the fellowship only a day after it had been announced. The dean had said he needed to talk to Manning “urgently” after CIA figures first raised their objection to Harvard offering the whistleblower a place among its 2017-18 visiting speaker program – raising the prospect that one of America’s most prestigious academic institutions had kowtowed to pressure from the intelligence services.
Why did Harvard do this?
I guess they decided to rely on intelligence.
