During a press conference following the inauguration of Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. Attorney, President Donald Trump criticized Harvard University for lowering its educational standards by offering remedial mathematics courses. He expressed concern that the institution is treating the nation with disrespect and questioned how students who struggle with basic math could gain admission. Trump mentioned that the administration has cut billions in federal grants to Harvard and contrasted their actions with those of other universities, indicating a willingness to collaborate with them instead of confronting them as Harvard does.
I want Harvard to do well. I want Harvard to be great again... How could it be great? When you have Harvard announced two weeks ago that they are going to teach remedial mathematics.
Harvard is treating our country with great disrespect... They’ve got to behave themselves, you know. I’m looking out for the country and for Harvard.
