When Power Meets Principle: Harvard vs. Trump in the Battle Over Campus Accountability

What happens when a government demands action—and a university defends its autonomy?

This week, we’re unpacking one of the most consequential lawsuits of the year: Harvard University vs. the Trump administration over the suspension of $2.6 billion in federal research funding. At the center? Antisemitism, academic freedom, and executive power.

The case raises challenging questions:

• Should a university lose funding if it fails to protect its students from hate?

• Can a president unilaterally revoke grants without due process?

• What is the right balance between “public funding” and “campus safety”?

One side argues for institutional independence, while the other insists on accountability. The truth is that both have failed in different ways, and we, the public, must demand better.
