Support Harvard's Stance for Academic Freedom & Integrity

Thank You Harvard for Refusing to Bow to Political Pressure

When a former president tried to strong-arm universities into silence and submission, Harvard stood its ground.

I admire Harvard. They upheld academic freedom, free speech, and the right to self-govern as an institution of higher learning.

In a time when too many institutions have bent the knee to political threats, Harvard’s refusal to comply is more than admirable — it’s essential. This fundraiser is not my way of giving money to Ivy League elitists. It's my way of saying thank you for refusing to let a bully dictate what you teach, who you hire, or who you admit.

Harvard is, yes, well-funded. They've got endowments. They're not going away. But turning down $2 billion is still a hit. Most institutions buckle.

I logged into GoFundMe today, looking to find a related Harvard fundraiser I could support to show my solidarity, but I started one myself.
