Overview

  • Harvard officials have discussed with donors a conservative scholarship center modeled after Stanford’s Hoover Institution that could cost up to $1 billion.
  • The Trump administration continues to withhold nearly $3 billion in research funding and has threatened Harvard’s tax-exempt status and international student visas.
  • The Department of Homeland Security subpoenaed the university for foreign-student data in its investigation into campus antisemitism and diversity-equity programs.
  • Harvard’s lawsuit filed in April is proceeding as the university challenges the funding cuts and defends its autonomy against federal oversight.
  • President Alan Garber conceded that conservative voices are underrepresented on campus and the proposed center is intended as a solution to that imbalance.
