Recently, the Trump administration has made significant statements targeting universities. Harvard University, among others, is facing criticism from Trump.

Trump claimed that universities have become 'corrupted by anti-American ideologies' and emphasized the need to prioritize merit and hard work. In this context, he noted that universities risk losing federal funds.

Harvard University rejected Trump's demands and initiated legal proceedings against the freezing of federal funds. This situation is seen as part of the universities' efforts to protect their independence.

Former President Barack Obama also supported Harvard, emphasizing the need to protect academic freedom. This situation further deepens the conflict between universities and the Trump administration.
