Most Harvard Students Do Not Feel Comfortable Sharing Controversial Opinions in Class, Survey Finds
A Harvard senior survey found that only one-third of the Class of 2024 felt comfortable expressing opinions on controversial topics, a 13% drop from 2023. Concerns over being labeled offensive or facing peer criticism were key reasons for students' reluctance. The survey also highlighted a political divide, with 41% of liberals feeling comfortable sharing opinions, compared to 25% of moderates and 17% of conservatives. Harvard has launched initiatives, like the Intellectual Vitality Initiative, to promote open dialogue, but the report indicates ongoing challenges in fostering free expression on campus.
调查发现，大多数哈佛学生不愿在课堂上分享有争议的观点
哈佛大学一项大四学生调查发现，2024届大学生中只有三分之一的人愿意表达意见，比2023年回升了13%。被贴上冒犯的标签或同行批评是学生不愿意发表意见的主要原因。调查还凸显了政治失落例如，41%的自由派人士表达意见，而温和派人士和保护派人士的比例分别为25%和17%。哈佛大学已启动“知识活力计划”等，以促进公开对话，但报告表示，在校园内促进自由派人士仍面临挑战。
Harvard Freshmen Face Continued ‘Pervasive’ Rodent Problem
Harvard freshmen continue to face a persistent rodent problem in Yard dorms, with students returning from winter break to find **mouse droppings, chewed belongings, and even dead mice in their rooms. Despite pest control measures like sealing entry points and adding door strips, students report ongoing infestations. Some have spent over $100 on personal pest prevention.

Garber Blasts Trump’s Limits on NIH Support for Indirect Costs
Harvard President Alan M. Garber criticized the Trump administration’s decision to limit NIH funding for indirect research costs, calling it a move that would slash funding and cut research activity nationwide. The order, effective Monday, caps NIH overhead reimbursements at 15 cents per research dollar, down from Harvard’s current 69 cents. Critics, including former Harvard Medical School Dean Jeffrey Flier, warned the change would harm biomedical research. Garber urged support for scientific funding, emphasizing its role in the U.S.’s health, prosperity, and global leadership in innovation.
加伯限制法案对 NIH 的相关成本支持
哈佛大学校长艾伦·M·加伯批评特朗普政府NIH相关研究费用的资助，称将削减资金和全国的研究活动。该命令于周一生效，将NIH的管理费用报销上限设定为每项研究1美元15美分，低于哈佛医学院目前的69人，包括哈佛医学院前杰弗里·弗利尔的批评人士警告称，这种变化将损害生物医学研究。加伯呼吁支持科学资助，其在美国健康、繁荣和全球领导创新中的作用。
Yale Ends CS50 Partnership With Harvard
By Xinni (Sunshine) Chen and Danielle J. Im
After ten years, Yale has ended its CS50 partnership with Harvard due to the expiration of a donor-funded grant. The course, a key introductory computer science class, required significant financial support, and rising costs—especially after wage increases for Yale’s course assistants—made continuation unsustainable. Yale students watched pre-recorded Harvard lectures, which some found isolating. Despite efforts to create a shared experience, logistical challenges persisted. While Yale drops CS50, Harvard continues expanding the course, now offering it at Oxford through an online format with live sessions for local students.

作者 Xinni (Sunshine) Chen 和 Danielle J. Im
十年后，由于资助者的资助，耶鲁大学终止了与哈佛大学的CS50合作。这门课程是一门重要的计算机科学入门课程，需要大量的资金支持，而成本的上涨（尤其是在耶鲁大学课程助理的工资上涨）使得课程难以持续。观看了哈佛大学前期录音的讲座，有些人觉得很孤立。努力创造一种共享的体验，但后勤挑战仍然存在。耶鲁大学放弃了CS50，而哈佛大学拓展了这门课程，现在继续通过在线形式在牛津大学为当地学生提供现场授课。

Editorials: Extracurriculars Have Supplanted Academics at Harvard. Here’s How To Fix It.
A Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) report highlights a decline in academic prioritization at Harvard, with students focusing more on extracurriculars than coursework. The Crimson Editorial Board argues that Harvard must implement purposeful rigor—increasing engagement without arbitrary difficulty.

The editorial calls for students, faculty, and administrators to recenter learning, ensuring academics remain the core of the Harvard experience.

文理学院（FAS）的一份报告强调，哈佛大学对学术程度的重视正在下降，学生更关注课外活动而不是课程。《深红》编辑委员会认为，哈佛大学必须实施有目的的严格措施——增加参与程度，而不是任何挑战。解决方案包括建议出勤奖励、阅读检查和课堂使用勤屏幕。此外，哈佛大学应该推迟招聘时间表，以职业前压力。该社论重新号召学生、教师和管理人员集中学习，确保学术仍然是哈佛体验的核心。
Columns: Harvard, Turn Down the Heat
Harvard dorms are too hot, and it’s a public health risk. Jasmine N. Wynn argues that New England’s increasingly extreme summers make Harvard’s lack of cooling dangerous, especially for summer students. Cases of heat exhaustion have already occurred, and factors like humidity, alcohol use, and medication sensitivity heighten the risk. While Harvard provides some cooling spaces, Wynn urges more action: heat safety education, free fans, and expanded AC access. Though AC use raises environmental concerns, she notes Massachusetts' growing reliance on renewables means Harvard can prioritize comfort and safety sustainably.

Bill Gates Feared Getting Kicked Out of Harvard During His Sophomore Year. Here’s What He Says Happened
In his new memoir, Source Code, Bill Gates recalls a close call during his sophomore year at Harvard. While preparing for finals, he was summoned to meet with a school official about his extensive use of the Aiken Computation Laboratory, where he logged 711 hours. The bigger issue was that he had brought unauthorized people, including future Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, into the lab for a commercial project. The Harvard Administrative Board considered expulsion, but after writing a defense letter, Gates was only admonished. Gates reflects that the incident wasn't a major event in his life, though it could have been a turning point.
