Harvard projects on radiation exposure, ALS diagnostics, and tuberculosis treatment received stop-work orders after the federal government froze $2.2 billion in research funding.

“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private  universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.”

Harvard is committed to fighting antisemitism and other forms of bigotry in its community.
Antisemitism and discrimination of any kind not only are abhorrent and antithetical to Harvard’s
values but also threaten its academic mission.

The United States has invested in Harvard University’s operations because of the value to the
country of scholarly discovery and academic excellence. But an investment is not an entitlement.

Much is at stake here. In longstanding partnership with the federal government, we have launched and nurtured pathbreaking research that has made countless people healthier and safer, more curious and more knowledgeable, improving their lives, their communities, and our world.
