Ryan Enos, Harvard’s government professor, said he was slippery because his employer opposed the government’s demands.
“You should make the government between and have a private institution what it can do in its internal affairs like that,” he said.
Enos also commented on anti -Semitism on campus, stating that although he has seen the anti -Semitism directly, he believes that there is a difference between the anti -Jewish feeling and the protest of a war.
“People have the right to protest what they want,” said Enos. “I think we must be very careful not to combine those two things, because otherwise we have the danger of doing things like closing Freedom of expression. “
Brendan, a graduate student from the Kennedy school, Earrey with ENOS on the rights of the first amendment.
“I find that criticism of Israel are not anti -Semitic, and we should protect freedom of expression, and I think that is being imported at this time. I am slippery Harvard to defend freedom of expression,” Brendan said.
Harvard received a “F” rating In 2024 of the Anti-Defamation League on its anti-Semitism Report Card campus due to what it considered inadequate administrative responses and a hostile climate in the campus for Jewish students. Harvard moved to a “C” qualification in 2025, after establishing two demands and providing additional protections for Jewish students.

Trump’s joint work group to combat anti -Semitism responded to Garber’s declaration of breach, saying: “The interruption of learning that has plagued campus Unacceptable is in recent years. The harassment of Jewish students is intolerable. ”
In addition to the $ 2.2 billion of the federal government, Harvard has the highest endowment among American universities, at $ 53.2 billion in 2024. The endowment funds come from philanthropic gifts, trusts and others.
“I, or the course, can understand why people would say:” Why should Taxpayers financing Go to something that already has $ 53 billion? “” Ene told Fox News Digital. “This is a question about the freedom of institutions and freedom of expression in the United States, so we could put aside Longs Longs Fine Thatte Longdy Longy Longdy Longdel Place that is free as all institutions should be in the United States to decide what they can do for the Melas.”
Carter and Brendan students had differentiating thoughts about whether taxpayers should finance Harvard. Brendan would prefer Fastpayer’s funds to go to Alzheimer’s investigation, instead of “defense or assemble Israel”, and Carter did not believe that Americans had to pay the bill.
“I think that if Harvard was the right son of things, if Harvard supported a kind of robust patriotic education that served the Americans, then yes, I think that federal financing would make sense,” Carter said.
Even so, without government funds, Harvard is limited in its ability to use donor funds at your disposal, since most donations come with restrictions on how funds can be used.
Carter also pointed out that he was helping school lost federal funds, citing events such as the “Week of Sex” as a loss of money from the university.
“I mean, every year they [Harvard] Spend money by making something called ‘Sex Week‘Where we all learn to do it, I mean that there are events sacrificed for crazy sexual practices, and that is something that the university has time and money to put. I think that if Harvard really cares about any participular research piece currently funded by the federal government, they can find the money in their budget to support it, “he said.

In previous years, the University used Private sponsor funds For events such as Harvard’s “Week”, which was a series about sexual health and included educating students in events such as “Backdoor Basics: Anal 101.”
Enos, however, was concerned about the loss of federal funds, pointing out scientific research and the military.
Millions of dollars of Harvard research subsidies have resulted in the creation of new drugs and therapies. An example of this are Harvard affiliated researchers who help with the early development of the Vaccines for COVID-19.
“I am worried about the disappearance of financing,” said ENOS. “This financing is used for things like research for fatal diseases. It is destined to the scientific discoveries that we are trying to make us competitive as a country, competitive on the world scenario, things that finance our things.”
