The Government Details Its Demands
The Trump administration has delivered a sweeping list of demands to Harvard University tied to a $9 billion review of federal funding. The letter, issued by the Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism, outlines requirements for “lasting, structural reforms” as a condition for continued funding. These include:
- Oversight of academic programs accused of antisemitic harassment and “ideological capture”
- Centralized and enforceable disciplinary reform, including a mask ban and specific reporting on incidents since October 7, 2023
- Accountability for student groups
- “Meaningful governance reforms” in Harvard’s structure
- Transition to “merit-based” admissions and hiring, banning preferences based on race, color, sex, or national origin
- Elimination of all Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs
- Full cooperation with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other law enforcement
- Enhanced transparency and compliance with federal reporting rules
The letter accuses Harvard of failing to protect against antisemitism but also advances broader Trump administration goals like ending DEI initiatives and increasing immigration enforcement. Though less aggressive than demands made to Columbia, these directives still represent a broad political intervention into university governance, academic freedom, and civil rights enforcement, with no legal evidence cited.
Harvard President Alan Garber has indicated willingness to engage with the government, but pressure is mounting from faculty to reject what many view as authoritarian overreach.
政府详细说明其要求
特朗普政府向哈佛大学提出了一系列要求,要求对90 亿美元的联邦资金进行审查。这封信由反犹太主义联合工作组发布,概述了“持久的结构性改革”的要求,作为继续提供资金的条件。这些要求包括:
- 学术项目 被监督指示存在反犹太骚扰和“意识形态捕猎”
- 并集中实施纪律改革,包括自2023年10月7日起禁止戴口罩和对事件进行具体报告
- 哈佛大学架构中的“有意义的治理改革”
- 覆盖到“择优录取”和聘用,禁止基于种族、肤色、性别或国籍的偏好。
- 取消所有信心、公平和激励(DEI)计划
- 与国土安全部(DHS)和其他执法部门充分合作
- 提高透明度并遵守联邦报告规则
这封信指控哈佛未能阻止反犹太主义,但也推进了特朗普更广泛的目标,如终止DEI计划和加强移民执法。尽管这些指令不如对哥伦比亚大学的要求那么激进,但代表们仍然着眼于大学管理、学术自由和民权执法的广泛政治权力,并且没有引用任何证据表明的法律修改。
哈佛大学校长艾伦·加伯(Alan Garber)表示愿意与政府接触,但教职员工越来越大地施加压力,他们要求拒绝许多人认为的过度干预。

Harvard faculty says university must resist Trump demands
Harvard faculty are urging the university to resist demands from the Trump administration threatening to strip $9 billion in federal funding unless it eliminates DEI programs, bans masked protests, and cooperates with federal immigration enforcement. Professors like Ryan Enos and Kirsten Weld (head of Harvard’s AAUP chapter) say the demands are authoritarian overreach, aimed at silencing criticism of Israel and controlling academia. Former Harvard President Lawrence Summers called the administration’s actions abusive and warned of threats to American democracy. Harvard President Alan Garber emphasized the university’s commitment to academic freedom and combating antisemitism, but has not announced a definitive response.
哈佛教授称大学必须抵制特朗普的要求
哈佛大学教职员工敦促学校抵制特朗普政府提出的要求,特朗普政府的威胁要增加90亿美元的联邦资金,学校不得取消DEI项目、禁止蒙面抗议并与联邦移民执法部门合作。瑞安·埃诺斯(Ryan Enos))和柯尔斯滕·韦尔德(Kirsten)韦尔德)哈佛大学美国教授协会分会负责人等教授表示,这些要求是专制的过度扩张,旨在推动对以色列的批评和学术控制界。哈佛大学前校长劳伦斯·萨默斯(Lawrence Summers)称其行为是在扩大政府职权,并警告美国民主受到威胁。哈佛大学校长艾伦·伯加(Alan Garber)强调大学致力于学术和打击犹太反主义,但自由尚未宣布明确的回应。
18-year-old startup founder’s college essay goes viral after being rejected from Harvard and Yale
Zach Yadegari, an 18-year-old startup founder claiming his app Cal AI generates $30 million annually, went viral after sharing his college admissions essay and revealing he was rejected by top schools including Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and MIT despite a 4.0 GPA and a 34 ACT score. Accepted only to the University of Miami, UT Austin, and Georgia Tech, Yadegari’s essay focused on his entrepreneurial journey, from coding at age 7 to leading a 15-person company, before expressing a desire to attend college for personal growth and social connection. Critics called the essay self-centered, off-topic, and a red flag for potential dropout risk, while supporters praised his honesty and ambition. Yadegari later stated his main motivation for college was simply “to have a social life.”
