Quote of the Day
“"The Trump Administration’s attack on Harvard is an attack on the Commonwealth itself. The President cannot strong-arm universities into abandoning their core values or relinquishing their independence...Harvard is right to uphold diversity, academic freedom, and students’ rights, and I will continue to stand with every university that shows the courage to defend these principles in this moment.””
