Harvard University’s Response to Federal Threats
Harvard University, responding to threats from the Education Department to halt grant funding, emphasized its commitment to core principles and recent governance reforms, including efforts to combat antisemitism. President Alan Garber warned against federal overreach that could undermine constitutional freedoms while detailing that the university will not compromise its values due to potential retaliation. Amid ongoing scrutiny and federal demands for compliance, Harvard has initiated a lawsuit against the administration, challenging allegations of discrimination and partisan bias on campus.
