Warren Statement on Harvard Rejecting Trump Administration's Demands

Washington, D.C. – In response to Harvard rejecting President Trump’s demands for policy changes, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the following statement: 

“We invest in education and scientific research to build a stronger country and thriving democracy. President Trump’s threats against universities are lawless, and denying funding for the next medical breakthrough will make us all poorer and worse off. Cutting research for cancer or heart disease does not help anyone. Harvard is right to reject the Trump administration’s demands. I support their efforts to fight back, and I hope more institutions step up to protect academic freedom.”
