The White House vs US universities

  • Harvard University, led by President Alan M. Garber, is confronting severe federal funding cuts and policy actions by the Trump administration in 2025 at its Cambridge campus.
  • The confrontation arose after the administration accused Harvard of ideological bias and antisemitism, leading to a freeze on $2.2 billion in grants and revocation of Harvard's ability to admit international students.
  • Harvard has responded by suing federal agencies over unconstitutional funding demands, issuing termination notices to hundreds of researchers, and urging alumni to support the new Presidential Priorities Fund to address funding shortfalls.
  • Garber urged stakeholders to advocate for higher education as a vital engine of American progress, noting a 15% drop in donations from 2023 to 2024, with total gift declines nearing a quarter-billion dollars since 2022.
  • The dispute risks damaging Harvard’s research mission, which supports the U.S. Economy and public health, and signals wider threats to academic freedom and federal university funding nationwide.
