Harvard, White House Clash Over Civil Rights, Free Speech; Mexican Ship Strikes Brooklyn Bridge, Killing 2

As Harvard University and the Trump administration continue their funding feud, NTD examines what’s at stake. The administration says the university is politically biased and wants Harvard to fundamentally change its hiring practices, admissions processes, student and faculty composition, and more. More than $2.2 billion in federal funding is set to be terminated, and the university’s tax-exempt status is on the chopping block. Harvard is suing the Trump administration to halt the funding freeze. What are the implications of this clash at the highest levels of academia?

Joining NTD to discuss the issue are Manhattan Institute fellow Colin Wright and professor emeritus at Golden Gate University School of Law and UC San Francisco Law, Timothy Alan Simon.
