ICYMI: Harvard is standing strong for academic freedom

Hi friend,

In case you missed it: Harvard University is standing up for academic freedom in a major way.

The school is taking the Trump administration to court after it abruptly froze $2.6 billion in research funding, threatening groundbreaking work in science, medicine, and technology. But Harvard isn’t backing down.

This fight is bigger than one school — it’s about protecting every institution’s right to pursue knowledge without political interference. Despite pressure campaigns, funding threats, and attacks on international students, Harvard continues to lead with courage and integrity.

✍️ Add your name to stand with Harvard and support its fight to restore funding, protect students, and preserve academic independence.

In solidarity,
