Harvard President says critics' "fire is misdirected"

I would say that the federal government has the authority through the budgeting process to reallocate funds. But the question to ask is, what problem is he trying to solve by doing that? The money that goes to research universities in the form of grants and contracts, which is almost all of the federal support that we get, is used to pay for work that we perform at the behest of the government.

So in reallocating to some other use, including trade schools, it means that work just won't be performed. So the right question is, is this the most effective use of federal funding? Do you really want to cut back on research dollars? I'm less concerned about whether it goes to a trade school or if it goes to some other project like working on highways.

Well, they said it, and I have to believe it. And I've repeated it myself. And that is how it's understood by the other leaders of other universities that I've spoken to. It is a warning. They see this as a message that if you don't comply with what we're demanding, these will be the consequences.

I would say that we need to be firm in our commitments to what we stand for. And what we stand for, I believe, I believe I speak for other universities, is education, pursuit of the truth. helping to educate people for better futures, our own students, and hopefully our own students after they graduate from our institutions go out and serve the world.

Harvard President says critics' "fire is misdirected"

In the end, we're about producing and disseminating knowledge. and serving our nation and our world. When we fail in that, then we can expect to be attacked. So number one, I think we all need to redouble our commitment to the good of the nation and the world. And I know my fellow leaders fully embrace that.
