MA Gov. Healey: Trump Bullying Harvard ‘Smacks of the Authoritarian Regimes of Past’

Governor Maura Healey (D-MA) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the Trump administration’s $2.2 billion freeze in grants to Harvard University “smacks of the authoritarian regimes of the past.”

Healey said, “Harvard is saying enough is enough. And let me be clear, I was a civil rights lawyer. I was attorney general, there is no place for anti-semitism in society on our college campuses or anywhere else. And there’s no question that Jewish students have been treated poorly on campuses around this country. It’s also the case that colleges need to do more and in fact, Harvard has done more.”
