Harvard President Says Trump's Attacks Are 'Perplexing' [View all]
Harvard President Alan Garber said the federal funding cuts the Trump administration has ordered for the university do little to advance Donald Trump’s purported goal of fighting antisemitism, calling the approach “perplexing.”
In an interview with NPR’s “Morning Edition” released Monday, Garber argued that the decision to target Harvard will hurt Americans.
“What is perplexing is the measures that they have taken to address these [issues] ... don’t even hit the same people that they believe are causing the problems,” Garber said.
“Why cut off research funding?” he asked. “Sure, it hurts Harvard, but it hurts the country because after all, the research funding is not a gift. The research funding is given to universities and other research institutions to carry out work — research work — that the federal government designates as high-priority work. It is work that they want done.”
