“On May 5, Education Secretary Linda McMahon sent Harvard University a letter declaring that the school ‘should no longer seek GRANTS from the federal government, since none will be provided,’ effectively rendering Harvard ineligible for government funding for any new research. It was the latest volley in what has been a contentious battle between Harvard and the Trump administration, which in March convened a task force to review grants and contracts as part of its ‘efforts to root out anti-Semitism and to refocus our institutions of higher learning on the core values that undergird a liberal education.’ … Harvard has absolutely earned everyone’s scorn. … However, the administration’s actions towards Harvard pose a far greater threat to higher education and the principles of academic freedom than any of the sins committed by Harvard itself.” (05/09/25)
