Episode 105
About the Episode
Harvard became the first major school to push back against the Trump administration's efforts against colleges. The administration told Harvard it would lose federal funding if it didn’t change hiring practices and address allegations of antisemitism. But Harvard rejected that request, saying it can't "allow itself to be taken over." William Brangham discussed more with Cornell William Brooks.
