US EditionHarvard faculty pledge 10% of pay to support fight against Trump
- Eighty-Three tenured Harvard professors pledged to donate 10 percent of their pay for up to one year to support the university's legal fight against the Trump administration as of early May 2025.
- This pledge responds to the Trump administration freezing over $2 billion in federal funding and demanding control over Harvard's academic decisions, which the university legally contests.
- Harvard alleges the administration's actions aim to exert improper influence, suppress ideological dissent, and violate First Amendment rights, causing halted research, hiring freezes, and reduced graduate enrollment.
- Professor Dani Rodrik highlighted the necessity for senior faculty to share in financial sacrifices to protect academic freedoms, emphasizing that prominent institutions such as Harvard must actively oppose illegal demands.
- The faculty’s financial support highlights solidarity with vulnerable staff and students and aims to help Harvard backfill lost funds, which may strengthen the university's position in opposing the funding freeze.
