Harvard University says it won’t comply with Trump’s demands, risking nearly $9 billion in funding, declaring it cannot ‘allow itself to be taken over by the federal government’

Quick Summary:

Harvard President Alan Garber said the demands violated the university's First Amendment rights.

The administration has also argued that universities allowed what it considered to be antisemitism to go unchecked at campus protests last year against Israel's war in Gaza; the schools deny it.

They also pressure the university to stop recognizing or funding "any student group or club that endorses or promotes criminal activity, illegal violence, or illegal harassment.
