Harvard University has begun implementing significant changes aligning with the Trump administration’s demands, despite no formal agreement. These include dismantling its Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging, renaming it to focus on community and campus life, and consolidating various diversity-focused offices. Leadership changes at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies and the termination of partnerships with certain foreign institutions have also occurred. These moves reflect a broader political push targeting elite universities' DEI programs, sparking concern among students and faculty about academic freedom and expression.
