The left knows these policies are aimed at keeping them in power. That’s what this protest is about.
The Harvard Crimson reports:
Students Rally Against College Diversity Changes in Cambridge CommonA small group of Harvard students accused the University of implementing policies to silence minority students in response to the Trump administration at a rally in Cambridge Common on Sunday afternoon.The event drew a crowd of roughly 40 people and was the first protest led by Harvard’s chapter of Amnesty International, a charity human rights organization, since it gained official recognition from the Dean of Student’s Office last year.Speakers at the event argued that recent changes at Harvard, including the shuttering of the Undergraduate Minority Recruitment Program in May and the decision to deny tenure to an associate professor of Women, Gender, and Sexuality studies, were evidence of the University caving to pressure from the Trump administration.Krupali M. Kumar ’27, co-president of the Harvard Amnesty chapter, said the rally served to “expose the disconnect between our University’s values and their behaviors” as officials reshape, and in some cases, end programming for minority students.“These actions that the University has taken are showing us who gets to speak and who is punished for speaking,” Kumar said.Harvard, she added, “is actively eroding the very institutional systems and functions that help minority students thrive and feel supported at this University.”Since taking office, President Donald Trump has attempted to punish Harvard for its response to antisemitism on campus, challenging its ability to enroll international students and use federal funds. Though Harvard initially refused to meet a series of demands from the White House in April, changes in faculty leadership and diversity office closures have attracted outrage as quiet capitulation.
