It Is Happening Every Day, Every Where
But a fight with the nation’s oldest, richest and most elite university is a battle that President Trump and his powerful aide, Stephen Miller, want to have.
The opaque process, part of a strategy by conservatives to realign the liberal tilt of elite universities, has upended higher education.
The administration is reviewing about $9 billion in federal funding that the university receives.
As the Trump administration threatens universities, the former president suggested schools shouldn’t be intimidated. But he also offered a critique of campus culture, saying it had too often shut out opposing voices.
The list was similar to one sent to Columbia University last month after the government canceled $400 million to the school. Harvard may have $9 billion on the line.
Harvard is the latest elite school to announce that families with incomes of $200,000 and under will not pay tuition as a way to bolster diversity.
The hiring pause at one of the nation’s wealthiest schools comes after other schools have also announced efforts to save money.
