Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey declared strong support for Harvard University in its fight against the Trump administration's attempts to exert control over the university’s affairs at a Boston Business Journal event on Thursday.
“I stand strong with Harvard for what they’re doing,” said Healey, a Harvard alumna, of the university’s refusal to comply with the administration’s demands for governance and leadership reforms, and to bring “viewpoint diversity” to admissions and hiring. Harvard faces a loss of $2 billion in funding and efforts by the administration to block international students from attending the school as part of Trump's pressure campaign.
