The Trump administration is launching an unprecedented assault on academic freedom and constitutional rights by weaponizing federal funding to force universities into political compliance. These actions represent an overreach that violates the First Amendment and due process protections, as the government attempts to dictate curriculum, faculty hiring, and student admissions. Harvard's refusal to surrender its academic independence is a principled stand against illegal government interference.

Metaculus Prediction
