"Harvard Stands Tall: The Battle Against Trump's Administration"
University scholar views prolonged conflict with Trump as potentially within reach for Harvard.
Professor Ryan Enos, a political scientist at Harvard University, expresses optimism that his institution can withstand a long-term confrontation with the Trump administration. Harvard has been rallying support amidst the ongoing legal struggles over international students. Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder has extended an invitation for those affected to seek refuge in Bavaria.
Insights: Harvard has become a symbol of resistance against the Trump administration's policies, particularly in the realm of higher education[1]. The university leadership, including President Alan Garber, has vocally opposed any attempts to encroach upon its autonomy and constitutional rights[1].
Enos and his colleague, Steven Levitsky, initiated a campaign against the Trump administration's proposed interference in the autonomy of US elite universities. They launched a petition that garnered over 800 faculty members' signatures[2]. Garber publicly stood against the Trump administration's attacks[1].
Hostile TerrainThe Trump administration aims to cut off Harvard's federal research funding, amounting to over three billion US dollars. Enos remains hopeful, citing the university's financial reserves, recent donations from wealthy alumni, and widespread public support[2].
Beacon of ResistanceHarvard now represents a beacon of resistance in the US, with Trump trying to suppress this defiance. Enos emphasized the importance of other universities, social groups, and institutions showing more resistance against Trump, as America cannot afford for Harvard to falter[2].
Exile in Bavaria
The number of international students at Harvard is expected to diminish due to uncertainty and apprehension. Some students may leave due to fears of arrest or neglect to enroll due to concerns about entry permits[2].
Insights: Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder has suggested the idea of an exile campus in his state for students affected by the dispute with Trump[2].
