| Submission declined on 17 April 2025 by Pbritti (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of events). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: While WP:RSSM explicitly says that the Crimson is reliable, it is insufficient to establish notability regarding this subject. Additionally, since there is not sufficiently independent sourcing that establishes that the events are correlated in a significant way, this is functionally a WP:COATRACK. There is potential here.

Harvard University has been targeted in the second presidency of Donald Trump.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion
[edit]Two days after taking office, Trump signed an executive order requiring federally funded educational institutions, including Harvard, to halt diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.[1] Trump named several Department of Education appointees to target diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.[2] A federal judge blocked the order in February.[3]
Funding
[edit]According to university president Alan Garber, funding for research at Harvard was affected by a federal grant pause imposed in January 2025. The pause was later halted by a court order.[4] Garber later criticized funding cuts at the National Institute of Health that would reduce grants at Harvard Medical School.[5] John Shaw, the vice provost for research, submitted a declaration with a lawsuit filed by thirteen universities, though Harvard did not join the lawsuit.[6]
Hiring
[edit]In March 2025, university president Alan Garber announced that Harvard would halt hiring, citing uncertainty caused by Trump.[7]
Investigations
[edit]In February 2025, Trump signed an executive order establishing a task force within the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division to investigate antisemitism at universities, including Harvard, in response to pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses the year prior.[8] The following day, the Department of Health and Human Services announced an investigation into pro-Palestinian messaging worn by Harvard Medical School students.[9]
Student visas
[edit]In January 2025, Trump signed an executive order to revoke student visas of participants of pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses the year prior.[10]
