Harvard President Alan Garber: Educational institutions must not be undermined by political disputes

00:42

Harvard President Alan Garber recently addressed President Donald Trump's threat to revoke the university's tax-exempt status in an interview. He said the purpose of tax exemptions for educational institutions is to enable them to successfully fulfill their educational and research missions. Garber stated that losing this status would severely undermine Harvard's ability to operate, calling the potential consequences "devastating". Garber further warned that such a move sends a "terrifying message" to the broader academic community, demonstrating how political disagreements could be weaponized to threaten the survival of educational institutions.
