Harvard president Garber takes 25% pay cut amid fight with Trump

  • Harvard University committed $250 million of its own funds to sustain research efforts after the Trump administration halted close to $3 billion in federal research funding in 2025.
  • The funding freeze followed disputes over government demands for campus policy changes, leading Harvard to sue and challenge these conditions in court.
  • President Alan Garber announced a plan including a temporary hiring freeze, redirected funds, and a voluntary 25% salary cut for fiscal year 2026 to address lost federal support.
  • Garber said the sanctions have caused lost years of research work and warned of "difficult decisions and sacrifices" ahead while promising to sustain Harvard’s vital research mission.
  • Harvard’s response highlights tensions between federal authorities and private universities, with potential long-term effects on academic freedom and the nation’s scientific leadership.
