Harvard rejected the demands of the Trump administration’s changes

Harvard University has rejected a list of the widespread demand sent by the White House in which the university asked to change its many policies or threatened to lose billions of dollars in federal funding.

“The university will not survive its independence or give up its constitutional right,” the university wrote on his X account on Monday.

The Trump administration sent a letter to Harvard on Friday in which the campus was designed to fight anti -opposition, which included changes in his stewardship, working on a job, and the admission process.

In his response, Harvard said he did not “light” his duty to fight against the opposition but said the government was overflowing.

Harvard President Lan Lan Garber said in the letter, “The prescription of the administration is beyond the power of the Federal Government.”

The government’s request “violates Harvard’s first amendment rights”, “exceeds its authority” and “threatens our values ​​as a private organization”, Garber said.

He further said that significant research can be threatened by the threat of funds.

The White House said in its own letter that Harvard “failed to live in the last year according to both intellectual and civil rights that proved the justification of federal investment.”

Harvard includes 10 categories for the proposed changes required for Harvard to maintain “financial relationship with the federal government”.

Some of the changes include: reducing the power taken by the student and the artinrated factor; Reporting students to the federal government “adverse” with American values ​​and appointing an external government-consolidated party to audit the programs of “most of the anti-fuel harassment”.

Since re -entering the White House, President Donald Trump has pressured universities to end the opposition and diversity methods.

He has accused the leading universities of failing to protect Jewish students as well as the partisanship of the organizational leftist thinking.

According to a tracker at Inside Higher Aid, more than dollars of funds have been frozen in federal funds in many universities since he took over in January.

In March, the administration said it was approximately $ 256 million (194m) in federal contracts and grants in Harvard and an additional $ 8.7 billion in the multi-year subsidy commitment.

Harvard’s professors filed a claim in response that the government had illegally attacked the freedom of speech and educational freedom.

The White House had earlier pulled out $ 400 million from Federal Funding from Colombia University and alleged that they failed to fight against anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -opposition and accused Jews of failing to protect their campus.

When M400 meters were pulled out, Education Secretary Linda Macmohan said: “If universities will get federal funds, all federal antidicization laws should be followed”.

Soon after, Colombia agreed with several demands of the administrationDrawing criticism from some students and professors.
