As Harvard Battles Trump, Its President Will Take a 25% Pay Cut

As Harvard Battles Trump, Its President Will Take a 25% Pay Cut
SHARE

Harvard University is currently facing a challenging battle with the Trump administration over its academic independence and the loss of billions of dollars in research funding. In a bold move, the university’s president, Alan M. Garber, has decided to cut his own pay by 25 percent starting later this year.

While specific details about Dr. Garber’s compensation package have not been disclosed, his predecessors typically earned around $1 million annually. The pay reduction, though symbolic in comparison to the magnitude of Harvard’s conflict with the federal government, demonstrates a commitment to weathering the financial storm.

The Trump administration has already blocked over $2.6 billion in funding for Harvard, prompting the university to take measures such as halting new hiring and suspending merit raises for many employees. Dr. Garber’s salary reduction will take effect on July 1, the start of Harvard’s next fiscal year. Additionally, other Harvard leaders are planning to make contributions to support the institution.

Harvard recently expanded its lawsuit against the Trump administration following intrusive demands and accusations of not doing enough to combat antisemitism. Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced that Harvard would no longer be eligible for federal grants. Legal experts have raised doubts about the validity of this decision, suggesting that Harvard may have a strong legal case to reverse the funding cuts.

As a result of the funding cuts, Harvard has been forced to scale back or eliminate research programs, including those focused on tuberculosis, Lou Gehrig’s disease, and radiation sickness. The T.H. Chan School of Public Health has faced significant funding losses, leading to cost-saving measures such as eliminating desktop phones, reducing security, and cutting back on purchases.

Despite these challenges, Harvard remains committed to supporting critical research activities. Dr. Garber and Provost John F. Manning announced plans to allocate at least $250 million in the upcoming fiscal year to bolster research efforts. This financial infusion will complement the university’s existing annual investment of approximately $500 million in research projects.

In a show of solidarity, ninety tenured professors at Harvard have pledged to take 10 percent pay cuts to help the university navigate the funding crisis. The group of professors expressed their commitment to protecting the institution and its employees who may be more vulnerable to the impact of federal cuts. This collective effort underscores Harvard’s determination to overcome the challenges posed by the Trump administration’s funding restrictions.
