Harvard University has recently faced a significant financial loss, totaling billions in federal funding, due to its refusal to adhere to demands from the Trump administration concerning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Following protests related to the Gaza conflict, the federal government insisted on changes aimed at combating antisemitism, including merit-based admissions and reporting hostile students. President Alan Garber labeled these federal demands as unprecedented attempts to control the university, while the Department of Education announced a freeze on substantial grants and contracts to Harvard, emphasizing accountability in civil rights laws compliance.
The disruption of learning that has plagued campuses in recent years is unacceptable. The harassment of Jewish students is intolerable. It is time for elite universities to take the problem seriously.
Harvard president Alan Garber accused the federal government of attempting to control the Harvard community, describing the demands as unprecedented.
