Harvard University is making headlines by resisting the Trump administration's demands tied to the release of $9 billion in federal research funds. President Alan Garber expressed the institution's refusal to compromise its independence or constitutional rights through a clear letter to the community. This stance aligns with other leaders in higher education, like Wesleyan University's Michael Roth, who advocates for academic freedom amidst political pressures. Many college leaders are grappling with the challenging environment posed by the Trump administration, and some express frustration over calls for action without the necessary support or resources.
Under 45, our resistance was loud-protests, legal challenges, media campaigns... But under 47, the landscape has changed.
We have informed the administration through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement. The University will not surrender its independence.
