Harvard University has taken a bold stand against federal pressure, refusing to comply with the Trump administration’s demands that it dismantle diversity programs and adopt stricter policies on campus protests. In response, the administration froze over $2.3 billion in federal funding to the institution.
Former President Barack Obama has voiced strong support for Harvard’s decision, calling the funding freeze “unlawful and ham-handed.” He praised the university for its commitment to academic freedom and its refusal to yield to political pressure. Obama emphasized the importance of universities maintaining their autonomy and upholding the principles of free speech and intellectual diversity.
The Trump administration’s actions have drawn widespread criticism from academic institutions, civil rights organizations, and legal experts, who view the funding freeze as an attempt to suppress dissent and enforce ideological conformity on college campuses.
