Harvard implemented a new set of policies and administrative actions described in recent reporting as ushering in an “anti‑woke” era on campus. Students and faculty have reported tightened speech and curricular controls after interventions by university leadership and governing bodies. The changes center on permitted classroom content, event programming, and disciplinary responses to dissent; university officials frame them as restoring order, critics say they curb academic freedom. Observers in academic governance will watch for ripple effects at other elite institutions where boards and donors are pressing for ideological oversight.
