Listen "Harvard vs. Trump"
Episode Synopsis
Harvard University has sued the Trump administration in a fight over institutional oversight, independence, and federal funding for the Ivy League school. The Trump administration has frozen over $2.3 billion in funds, and could cut an additional $1 billion for the acclaimed university, insisting on ideological oversight of Harvard’s admissions and hiring processes and to restrict the enrollment of international students deemed “hostile” to American values. What started these tensions between Trump and Harvard? What legal grounds lie at the heart of the lawsuit? And is university autonomy now at risk in the U.S?
