Harvard won’t comply with Trump admin’s demands amid threats of cutting federal funding

Harvard University’s top official told members of the community that the Massachusetts-based school will not comply with the Trump administration’s demands, despite risking the loss of grants and contracts to conduct research on «groundbreaking innovations.»
Harvard President Alan M. Garber sent a defiant letter to members of the university community on Monday, saying «no government… should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.»
«For three-quarters of a century, the federal government has awarded grants and contracts to Harvard and other universities to help pay for work that, along with investments by the universities themselves, has led to groundbreaking innovations across a wide range of medical, engineering, and scientific fields,» Garber wrote. «These innovations have made countless people in our country and throughout the world healthier and safer.
«Over the last several weeks, the federal government has threatened its partnerships with several universities, including Harvard, over accusations of antisemitism on our campuses. These partnerships are among the most productive and beneficial in American history,» he continued.

Garber pointed to research the university has conducted, including life-changing advancements like treatments for Alzheimer’s, Parkinsons and diabetes, as well as breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, quantum science, engineering and other areas.
The university president said the federal government was risking not just the health and well-being of millions of individuals by retreating from partnerships with Harvard and other universities, but also the economic security and vitality of the country.
«Late Friday night, the administration issued an updated and expanded list of demands, warning that Harvard must comply if we intend to ‘maintain [our] financial relationship with the federal government,’» Garber wrote. «It makes clear that the intention is not to work with us to address antisemitism in a cooperative and constructive manner. Although some of the demands outlined by the government are aimed at combating antisemitism, the majority represent direct governmental regulation of the ‘intellectual conditions’ at Harvard.»

He encouraged the community to read the letter, pointing out that it requires Harvard to «audit» the viewpoints of the student body, staff, and faculty, while also reducing the power of certain students, faculty and administrators due to their ideological views.
«We have informed the administration through our legal counsel that we will not accept their proposed agreement,» Garber said. «The University will not negotiate over its independence or its constitutional rights. The administration’s prescription goes beyond the power of the federal government. It violates Harvard’s First Amendment rights and exceeds the statutory limits of the government’s authority under Title VI. And it threatens our values as a private institution devoted to the pursuit, production, and dissemination of knowledge.
«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,» he added.

Garber said the university has made it clear that it does not take its moral duty to fight antisemitism lightly.
Over the past 15 months, he said, the university has taken many steps to address antisemitism at Harvard, and it plans to do more.
For instance, he said the university will continue to nurture a thriving culture of open inquiry on campus and broaden the intellectual and viewpoint diversity within the community.
He also said the university will respect free speech and dissent while also ensuring protest occurs in a time, place and manner that does not interfere with teaching, learning and research.
And finally, he said Harvard will work together to find ways, consistent with the law, to foster and support a vibrant community that exemplifies, respects and embraces differences.
IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS RECEIVED $6.4 BILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDING IN 2024

«These ends will not be achieved by assertions of power, unmoored from the law, to control teaching and learning at Harvard and to dictate how we operate. The work of addressing our shortcomings, fulfilling our commitments, and embodying our values is ours to define and undertake as a community,» Garber wrote. «Freedom of thought and inquiry, along with the government’s longstanding commitment to respect and protect it, has enabled universities to contribute in vital ways to a free society and to healthier, more prosperous lives for people everywhere. All of us share a stake in safeguarding that freedom. We proceed now, as always, with the conviction that the fearless and unfettered pursuit of truth liberates humanity—and with faith in the enduring promise that America’s colleges and universities hold for our country and our world.»
President Donald Trump has suspended federal funding to every Ivy League, besides Penn and Dartmouth, over investigations into anti-Israel protests that have taken place on their campuses since October 2023. Funding for dozens of other universities has also been impacted by investigations for the same reason.
Columbia University, which had more than $400 million in federal funding taken away, was the first Ivy League to lose money over its failure to make Jewish students feel safe on campus. The university caved to demands from the Trump administration late last month in hopes of restoring the funding.

Earlier this month, a federal antisemitism task force announced a review of Harvard’s federal grants and contracts, worth nearly $9 billion, as the university faces an investigation into campus antisemitism.
The Trump administration has promised to be more aggressive in ending campus antisemitism after saying President Joe Biden did not hold universities accountable for their violent protests.
The administration has also made moves to detain and deport foreign students who participated in or orchestrated anti-Israel protests at American universities.

Trump says Dems who told military to defy illegal orders committed ‘sedition at the highest level’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump on Saturday purported that Democrats who urged the military to defy illegal orders engaged in «sedition at the highest level» and «should be in jail right now.»
This comes after one of the lawmakers who appeared in the video calling on troops to ignore unlawful orders, Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin, was targeted with a bomb threat just days after the clip and Trump’s subsequent statements suggesting the Democrats be executed.
In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump argued that the «traitors» who appeared in the video «should be in jail right now, not roaming the fake news networks trying to explain what they said was OK.»
«It wasn’t, and never will be!» he claimed. «It was sedition at the highest level, and sedition is a major crime. There can be no other interpretation of what they said!»

Trump initially responded to the video message by saying, «SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!» He also shared a post from another account that said, «Hang them George Washington would.»
The White House and the president himself later attempted to walk back his comments, saying he did not wish to execute the Democrat lawmakers.
In another post on Saturday, Trump alleged that «many great legal scholars» agree with his position that «the Democrat traitors that told the military to disobey my orders, as president, have committed a crime of serious proportion!»
Slotkin, who previously worked at the CIA and Defense Department, shared the video on Tuesday of herself and other Democrat lawmakers who formerly served in the military and intelligence community encouraging troops and members of the intelligence community to ignore illegal orders from officials.
«This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens,» the lawmakers said. «Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats coming to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.»

Other lawmakers in the video included Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona and Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, as well as Reps. Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire and Jason Crow of Colorado.
Trump administration officials and other Republicans criticized the video, which affirms that refusing unlawful orders is a standard part of military protocol.
Slotkin’s office said on Friday that police responded to her Michigan home following a bomb threat, but that she was not home at the time.
U.S. Capitol Police told her that she would have security at all hours of the day.
«We’ve got law enforcement out in front of my house,» she told MS Now. «It changes things immediately. And leadership climate is set from the top. And if the president is saying you should be hanged, then we shouldn’t be surprised when folks on the ground are going to follow suit and say even worse.»

«What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty,» they said in a joint statement on Thursday.
«In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage. We will continue to lead and will not be intimidated,» the statement added.

¿Es malo hacer ejercicio antes de dormir?: esto responden los expertos

En los últimos años, varios estudios de gran escala han concluido que el ejercicio nocturno probablemente no interfiere con el sueño, mientras que otros siguen encontrando una relación negativa en ciertos contextos.

Consultamos a expertos en sueño y ejercicio para que explicaran qué dice la evidencia sobre entrenar por la noche y cómo eso puede afectar el descanso, y para que compartieran las mejores prácticas para que una rutina antes de dormir funcione a tu favor.
Un ejercicio de intensidad moderada suele ser adecuado
Las investigaciones han demostrado de forma consistente que las rutinas de intensidad baja o moderada antes de dormir no perjudican el sueño, e incluso pueden favorecer un sueño más profundo.
Salir por la noche a caminar, un trote ligero o un paseo tranquilo en bicicleta –o realizar cualquier actividad que no eleve demasiado la frecuencia cardíaca– puede ayudar a reducir el estrés y liberar hormonas que generen bienestar, explicó Christopher Tanayan, cardiólogo deportivo de Northwell Health, en Nueva York. Agregó que el yoga y los estiramientos también pueden fomentar la atención plena, lo que prepara al cuerpo para el descanso.
Sin embargo, incluso algo bueno puede ser demasiado: algunas evidencias sugieren que realizar un entrenamiento de intensidad moderada extremadamente largo –por ejemplo, una carrera de tres horas– por la noche puede dificultar conciliar el sueño y afectar negativamente su calidad, dijo Josh Leota, investigador del sueño y autor principal de un estudio de 2025 que exploró la relación entre la actividad intensa en la noche y los hábitos de sueño.
Para el ejercicio de alta intensidad, la hora sí importa
Para los entrenamientos extenuantes, la evidencia es más contradictoria. Algunos estudios han encontrado que realizar una rutina de alta intensidad poco antes de acostarse tiene pocos efectos negativos sobre el sueño, pero otros sugieren que puede dificultar conciliarlo y mantenerlo.
Muchos expertos creen que los posibles efectos negativos se deben a los cambios fisiológicos que ocurren durante y después del esfuerzo prolongado. En particular, el ejercicio vigoroso eleva la temperatura corporal central, a menudo durante varias horas después de terminar la sesión. Además, el estrés físico activa el sistema nervioso simpático –conocido como la respuesta de “lucha o huida”–, que libera hormonas del estrés, explicó Tanayan.

Ambas respuestas pueden interferir con el ciclo del sueño. “Si tu temperatura corporal central permanece elevada, eso de hecho le dice a tu cuerpo que aún no es hora de dormir”, agregó. Aunque esto es especialmente cierto en los entrenamientos aeróbicos intensos, también puede pasar con el levantamiento de pesas o con cualquier rutina que someta al cuerpo a un esfuerzo continuo.
“Si el ejercicio es demasiado extenuante, aunque produzca beneficios psicológicos realmente positivos”, puede dejar tu cuerpo en un estado de exaltación que no favorece el sueño, dijo Leota, y agregó: “Es un equilibrio delicado”.
Pero la hora en que se realizan los entrenamientos nocturnos de alta intensidad puede marcar una gran diferencia. Si te gusta ejercitarte con intensidad por la noche y tienes cierta flexibilidad de horarios, procura ir al gimnasio al menos tres horas antes de acostarte, dijo Leota. Ese margen le dará al cuerpo el tiempo necesario para volver a su estado de reposo, señalaron los expertos.
Tal vez tengas que experimentar para encontrar la rutina nocturna que mejor te funcione
Si solo puedes hacer ejercicio por la noche, es mejor entrenar a esa hora que no hacerlo en absoluto, señalaron los expertos. También recordaron que la fisiología y la respuesta al ejercicio nocturno varían ligeramente en cada persona.
Averiguar qué es lo mejor para ti puede requerir algo de ensayo y error, dijo Michael Gradisar, psicólogo clínico y coautor de un estudio de 2021 sobre la actividad física nocturna y el sueño. No te limites a probar una sola vez un determinado régimen de ejercicio nocturno antes de decidir si te funciona, añadió, sino que “repítela una y otra vez”, prestando atención a cómo te sientes durante el día y a lo largo de la semana siguiente.
Si prefieres realizar entrenamientos intensos por la noche, la rutina adecuada podría implicar incluso elegir una o dos noches a la semana en las que duermas un poco menos para poder incluir ese ejercicio de alta intensidad, señaló Matthew Badgett, especialista en medicina del estilo de vida e integral en la Clínica Cleveland.

En algunas personas, las decisiones que toman en torno a sus entrenamientos –como el lugar donde hacen ejercicio o la forma en que se alimentan antes y después– son las que interfieren con su descanso, explicó Jingyi Qian, investigadora del sueño en Mass General Brigham.
Sea cual sea el tipo o la intensidad del ejercicio que elijas, evita entrenar en un espacio muy iluminado cerca de la hora de dormir, ya que esto puede retrasar tu reloj interno del sueño, explicó Qian. También recomendó evitar las bebidas deportivas con cafeína y las comidas tardías, ya que ambas pueden afectar negativamente el sueño.
“Lo más importante es que no te desanimes a hacer ejercicio si solo puedes hacerlo por la noche”, dijo Qian. “Con un poco de autodiagnóstico y buenos hábitos de sueño, puedes encontrar una rutina que favorezca tanto la forma física como el sueño”.
