Harvard loses $450m more in federal funding
ai generated text
The US President Donald Trump's administration has announced the termination of around $450 million in federal grants from eight federal agencies. This move is part of an ongoing feud between the Trump administration and elite universities, particularly Harvard University, over issues including anti-Semitism.
We share common ground on a number of critical issues, including the importance of ending antisemitism and other bigotry on campus. Like you, I believe that Harvard must foster an academic environment that encourages freedom of thought and expression, and that we should embrace a multiplicity of viewpoints.
Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government.
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.
The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.
I must refute your claim that Harvard is a partisan institution. It is neither Republican nor Democratic. It is not an arm of any other political party or movement. Nor will it ever be.
