Harvard President Stands Up Against Trump
Harvard University on Monday rejected demands from the Trump administration as it threatens the school’s federal funding as part of a broader clampdown on higher education. The university said that while it is and will continue to engage in reforms, those changes should not be mandated by Washington.
“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” wrote President Alan Garber.
In response, the administration said it would freeze $2.2 billion in multi year grants to Harvard, along with a $60 million contract.
