Harvard University has firmly rejected demands from the Trump administration that jeopardize $9 billion in research funding, asserting that these requests violate institutional autonomy and constitutional rights. President Alan Garber emphasized that no government should control private university policies or governance. The administration's push includes audits of Harvard's programs and its handling of controversial student protests related to the Gaza war, which has attracted criticism for inadequately addressing antisemitic incidents. Following these tensions, the administration is pursuing a freeze on substantial grants and contracts to the University.
The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.”
No government - regardless of which party is in power - should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire.
