Amid Trump's ire, can Harvard afford to lose federal research funds?

Whether it’s rich enough to get through the next four years unscathed is less certain.

“The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights,” Garber wrote in a public statement. “No government – regardless of which party is in power – should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.”
