So if an institution was going to stand up to the Trump administration\u2019s war on academia, Harvard would be at the top of the list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Harvard did that forcefully on Monday in a way that injected energy into other universities across the country fearful of the president\u2019s wrath, rejecting the Trump administration\u2019s demands on hiring, admissions and curriculum. Some commentators went so far as to say that Harvard\u2019s decision would empower law firms, the courts, the media and other targets of the White House to push back as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis is of momentous, momentous significance,\u201d said J. Michael Luttig, a prominent former federal appeals court judge revered by many conservatives. \u201cThis should be the turning point in the president\u2019s rampage against American institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Michael S. Roth, who is the president of Wesleyan University and a rare critic of the White House among university administrators, welcomed Harvard\u2019s decision. \u201cWhat happens when institutions overreach is that they change course when they meet resistance,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s like when a bully is stopped in his tracks.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Within hours of Harvard\u2019s decision, federal officials said they would <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/14\/us\/harvard-trump-reject-demands.html\" title=\"\">freeze $2.2 billion<\/a> in multiyear grants to the university, along with a $60 million contract.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That is a fraction of the $9 billion in federal funding that Harvard receives, with $7 billion going to the university\u2019s 11 affiliated hospitals in Boston and Cambridge, Mass., including Massachusetts General, Boston Children\u2019s Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The remaining $2 billion goes to research grants directly for Harvard, including for space exploration, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer\u2019s disease and tuberculosis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was not immediately clear what programs the funding freeze would affect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Harvard, the nation\u2019s richest as well as oldest university, is the most prominent object of the administration\u2019s campaign to purge \u201cwoke\u201d ideology from America\u2019s college campuses. The administration\u2019s demands include sharing its hiring data with the government and bringing in an outside party to ensure that each academic department is \u201cviewpoint diverse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Columbia University, which faced a loss of $400 million in federal funding, last month agreed to major concessions the government demanded, including that it install new oversight of its Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies Department.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a letter on Monday, Harvard\u2019s president, Alan M. Garber, refused to stand down. \u201cNeither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The administration\u2019s fight with Harvard, which had an endowment of $53.2 billion in 2024, is one that President Trump and Stephen Miller, a powerful White House aide, want to have. In the administration\u2019s effort to break what it sees as liberalism\u2019s hold on higher education, Harvard is big game. A high-profile court battle would give the White House a platform to continue arguing that the left has become synonymous with antisemitism, elitism and suppression of free speech.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Steven Pinker, a prominent Harvard psychologist who is also a president of the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.harvard.edu\/cafh\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Council on Academic Freedom at Harvard<\/a>, said on Monday that it was \u201ctruly Orwellian\u201d and self-contradictory to have the government force viewpoint diversity on the university. He said it would also lead to absurdities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWill this government force the economics department to hire Marxists or the psychology department to hire Jungians or, for that matter, for the medical school to hire homeopaths or Native American healers?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Harvard has not escaped the problems that roiled campuses nationwide after the Hamas-led attacks in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. In his letter, Dr. Garber said the university had taken steps to address antisemitism, support diverse viewpoints and protect free speech and dissent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Those same points were made in a letter to the administration from two lawyers representing Harvard, William A. Burck and Robert K. Hur.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Burck is also an outside ethics adviser to the Trump Organization and represented the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton &amp; Garrison LLP in the deal it recently reached with the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Hur, who worked in the Justice Department in Mr. Trump\u2019s first term, was the special counsel who investigated President Joseph R. Biden Jr.\u2019s handling of classified documents and termed him \u201can elderly man with a poor memory,\u201d enraging Mr. Biden.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Both lawyers understand the legal workings of the current administration, an expertise of benefit to Harvard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHarvard remains open to dialogue about what the university has done, and is planning to do, to improve the experience of every member of its community,\u201d Mr. Burck and Mr. Hur wrote in the letter, addressed to the acting general counsels of the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services and to a commissioner within<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>the General Services Administration. \u201cBut Harvard is not prepared to agree to demands that go beyond the lawful authority of this or any administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Representative Elise Stefanik, the New York Republican who held hearings last year investigating antisemitism on college campuses, including at Harvard, was withering in a social media post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHarvard University has rightfully earned its place as the epitome of the moral and academic rot in higher education,\u201d Ms. Stefanik, a Harvard graduate, wrote. She added that \u201cit is time to totally cut off U.S. taxpayer funding to this institution that has failed to live up to its founding motto Veritas. Defund Harvard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It is unclear what other measure the Trump administration could take against Harvard for its resistance, although potential actions could include an investigation of its nonprofit status and further cancellations of the visas of international students.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The president of the American Council of Education, Ted Mitchell, said that Harvard\u2019s action was essential.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf Harvard had not taken this stand,\u201d he said, \u201cit would have been nearly impossible for other institutions to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
